Predictions reveal that Tories wouldn’t be forming a majority in Parliament, so the Democratic Unionist Party, which is biggest political party for unionists in Northern Ireland, may demand leniet Brexit negotiation procedure to win the support in coalition.
DUP’s website crashed early in morning during the talks when it was in pole position to begin coalition talks.
BBC was told by Jeffrey Donaldson, who is DUP’s chief that DUP has an upper hand in the territory as the Conservatives are short of support of majority so they will be having more power to take charge of negotiations.
UKIP former leader, Nigel Farage insists that he will resign to frontline politics if Brexit got threatened besides criticizing Tories for picking their leader Mrs May. ‘A huge mistake has been committed by Tories to choose a remainer to lead the Brexit party at elections.

He added: ‘they’ll threaten UK by telling us: ‘the deal has ended and you are out’ which will pose terrible consequences for us.’
