General Election called for June 8th

Isn't it the fact that her IndyRef2 obsession has just given the Conservatives the chance to form a Coalition Government? Surely that's a massive failure and a rejection of any notion of Independence?

I think you're twisting the facts here. I understand that you're biased, I get that, but even so you're arguments don't stand up.

Before Sturgeon became leader of the SNP the most seats even won in a general election was 6. Under Sturgeon the SNP has had easily it's best 2 results ever. Even this election result, although not as stunning as the last, gives the SNP almost 6 times as many seats as it ever had before Sturgeon. If your views were more balanced you'd point out that the 2 general elections fought under Sturgeon are the only 2 elections the SNP has ever won in Scotland or even come anywhere close to winning.

The IndyRef2 obsession you speak of is not Sturgeon's anyway, it's the SNP's. I don't think she really wanted to propose IndyRef2 at the time she did, but it's what her party wanted and it was difficult to swim against the tide. Her approval ratings were slipping and she was in a position where she had to show her nationalist credentials. I think it's a complete distortion of the facts to say that Scottish independence is her obsession, when in truth it's her party's obsession.

She has always had a face like that.

Theresa May to ask the Queen for permission to form a government. After last night, i think Theresa will be struggling to form a solid stool

Not balls, just contempt She isnt fit for purpose now, is that knives being sharpened i hear Dementia tax, winter fuel allowance, Fox hunting, Ivory importing, and free bus passes May be going on the back burner, just like her

They won't call it a formal link with the DUP because the NI assembly thing is still up in the air. If the Tories went "woo-hoo, the DUP are our Nick Cleggs", then it'd be a field day for Sinn Fein.

Why all the extreme comments here? Surely nothing much has changed. May has lost 12 Conservative MPs, but gained 10 DUP in their place, so it's more or less as you were. Yes it's an own goal for May herself, and undermines her authority, but won't necessarily affect the country that much.
