More S**t Is Hitting The Van

After little more than a week in office, Prime Minister Theresa May had resigned after what can be described only as a swift coup among the Conservative Parliamentary Party, conducted by the former Bremain supporter.

As a hilarious turn of events, the PP put forward Lord Heseltine as their candidate for "consensus, interim Prime Minister" until situation clarified. With the Labour reportedly reluctant to force the general election at present stage, Lord Heseltine is expected to be asked by the Queen to form the government.

A member of the House of Lords as Prime Minister? The Conservative popularity is going to be shattered, with an unelected official as their PM.

Two Major Parties Splits... Hopelessly

(Note: I know some of you may see it as moving too rapidly with the events, but consider that one RL month is one Atlasian year)

One Nation Conservative Party: Currently the party in power. They're led temporarily by Kenneth Clarke, who's unlike the caretaker PM, the Lord Heseltine, is still in the Commons.

Unionist Conservative Party: Tory pro-Brexit right wing, led by dismissed Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

One Nation Conservative Party-May Faction: A small group of Theresa May supporters, who are pissed at both major block.

Labour Party: Led by Owen Smith, successfull in his challenge against Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour Tribune Party: Led by outset Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Bolsover Hooligans: Pro-Brexit Labourities led by Dennis Skinner.

Social Democratic Party: David Owen is back and he's leading a brand "new" party with a whooping number of two members, aside of him.

New Labour Revivalist: A small, largely out of the Parliament, group of hopeless Blair fans.

SNP, LibDems, UKIP, DUP, UUP and Sinn Fein are still here.

Good Lord...

One thing's for sure, the next election is going to be fascinating.

Could this fracturing of British politics make a SNP+Plaid plurality possible?

This will cause huge issues under FPTP elections; all these candidates for effectively the same party will lead to some hugely interesting results. Better get PR in quickly...

Results:

Unionist Conservative Party: 230
Labour: 212
One Nation Tory: 111
SNP: 59
Plaid Cymru: 38
Labour Tribune: 25
May Faction: 23
LibDem: 12
SDLP: 7
DUP: 6
Sinn Fein: 3
SDP: 2
UUP: 2
New Labour: 1
UKIP: 1
Bolsover: 1

So, if the Unionists and One Nationers can reach an agreement, they'll be able to form a majority coalition government - otherwise, the UK's in for a rocky spell without a stable government.

It'll also be interesting to see what Plaid Cymru do with their mandate. Could there be substantial powers heading to Wales in the near future?
