Wow. Glad we're not the only country ****ed out of its skull.
^ Not really asking the Queen for help. It's just a tradition that every new Prime Minister goes through; asking for permission to form a government. These days the monarch's only option is to rubber-stamp the election winner, then everyone goes home happy.

(Yes, big chunks of Holy Grail are not that funny.)

Why is it controversial?

Do you mean why is it controversial that May hasn't stepped down as Prime Minister?

Usually it happens when your party has a loss, especially when the loss is something you've caused by calling for a snap election.

So instead of following the social contract she leaned on the tradition of asking the queen for permission to carry on (in an alliance with another political party)...

Sounds a little ****ed.

Nigel Farage hints at return to politics after a disastrous night for Ukip

Even though UKIP held no seats, I'm glad they held their own against some of the other party's with smaller voter-ship than CON or LAB

Where's the poll option for The Dirty Orange Bastards?

For anyone wanting to know more about the DUP:

Ruth Davidson given DUP gay rights assurance - BBC News

Quote:
The DUP are pro-union (not Europe but UK), pro-Brexit and socially conservative.

The party, which returned 10 MPs to Westminster, has garnered a reputation for its strong, sometimes controversial views.

It opposes same-sex marriage and is anti-abortion - abortion remains illegal in Northern Ireland, except in specific medical cases.

One MP is a devout climate change denier, while a former MP once called for creationism - the belief that human life did not evolve over millions of years but was created by God - to be taught alongside evolution in science classes.

During the election campaign, the DUP's Emma Little-Pengelly was endorsed by the three biggest loyalist paramilitary organisations.
