2017 UK General Election: Hung Parliament Results

No Party Wins Majority as Conservatives Lose Seats

Theresa May's Conservatives lose seats in England and Wales to Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

In a stunning upset, the 2017 United Kingdom general election has resulted in a hung parliament, with no party winning an overall majority. The Conservative Party, led by Theresa May, lost seats in England and Wales to Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

The results of the election are as follows:

  • Conservative Party: 317 seats (-13)
  • Labour Party: 262 seats (+30)
  • Scottish National Party: 35 seats (-21)
  • Liberal Democrats: 12 seats (+4)
  • Democratic Unionist Party: 10 seats (+2)
  • Sinn Féin: 7 seats (+3)
  • Plaid Cymru: 4 seats (-1)
  • Green Party: 1 seat (-1)
  • Independent: 1 seat (0)

The hung parliament is a major setback for Theresa May, who had called the election in the hope of increasing her majority in parliament and strengthening her hand in the ongoing Brexit negotiations. The result leaves May in a difficult position, as she will need to form a coalition government in order to govern. It is unclear at this time who May will be able to form a coalition with, but the most likely options are the Democratic Unionist Party or the Liberal Democrats.
