And it sounds like May lacks even the honour to admit her shortcomings turned a potential 100+ seat majority into a minority and step aside. She's going to try and form a coalition with a far right party.

It makes no sense at all. The Tories already had a majority, why did she need to call an election to get a larger majority?
Also it is interesting this election went poorly for the SNP however if a coalition government is formed with a far right party support for Scottish independence may increase.
