A dreadful moment for the Conservative party in Britain. Prime Minister Theresa May badly miscalculated the extent of support she enjoyed among the British public. The Tories had a good thing going with a comfortable majority in parliament. But Ms. May wanted an even bigger mandate before she enters into tough Brexit negotiations with the European Union. What does she do? She calls for snap elections, and instead of shoring up her majority even further, the opposite has happened. The voters have returned a hung parliament. The Conservatives will have to form a minority government and the prime minister will have to depend on the support of the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, one of the most extreme entities on the British Isle. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place.
