Embarrassment for the British Prime Minister Theresa May as she is returned to power on the back of a confidence and supply agreement with the Democratic Unionist Party.
What went wrong? Two things come to mind, the first being Britain was tired of these elections, first the General Election in 2015, then the Brexit referendum, and now this General Election. Call it voter fatigue.
But then the second factor is that Labour's Jeremy Corbyn is a nice guy. Voters know he's genuine. Meanwhile Theresa May comes across as disingenuous. Younger voters flocked to Corbyn because of this factor supported by policies that favoured their interests. Key here was their pledge to scrap university tuition fees.
It looks as if May is now something of a lame duck, the vultures will be circling.
