Doubly hung, much as SMilo suggests above.

Leads to both sides having a go at a Queens Speech. Even if one manages it, the government is not able to function for more than a few months and we go back to the country. Possibility of some non party leader being named as caretaker PM with Sir Jeremy Haywood (Cabinet Secretary) keeping the country ticking over.

Apologies, my definition of a "doubly hung" is that there is two party combination that can command a majority (other than possibly C+SNP, which we all know is a non-starter), and so three+ parties would be required.

I don't think there would be any long term viable 3 party deals, even if they might temporarily get enough together to control a majority it couldn't hold.
