Quoting the BBC

Speaking after visiting Buckingham Palace, she said only her party had the "legitimacy" to govern, despite falling eight seats short of a majority.

Later, she said she "obviously wanted a different result" and felt "sorry" for colleagues who lost their seats.

But Labour said they were the "real winners".

The Lib Dems said Mrs May should be "ashamed" of carrying on.

Yes. It's just a term. UK has a few years to negotiate the exit terms and arrangements with the EU. It will try to salvage as much as it can ofcourse.
Technically, they have two years to work a deal out with EU27 or they crash out on WTO terms. That's ofcourse, not what will happen. They will draw it out for years.

Please elaborate this point. What do you mean 'in name only'? No matter what Nigel wants, Britain will exit regardless. Not sure what you are implying.
As I mentioned earlier, you can can virtually anything 'Brexit' and do nothing. Its what they call hard vs soft Brexit. They can still remain in the common market, customs union, EU courts, EU HRC etc. and still call it Brexit - though it would mean very little.

Okay. Bit still nothing can be confirmed till the negations are over. But the big question is, do you foresee the economic perks of being a part of the EU still hein held by the U.K. after the seperation process is complete? Will the EU monetary block still give the same concessions post exit process?

Hard to say but if the benefits do stay, it will be at a cost such as still remaining subject to EU HRC.

All in all, this will get extended or there will be a middle ground such as UK staying in the EEA. That's what they seem to be talking about now.

I donot get it youth of UK voted for Jeremy Corbyn who himself his brexit supporter

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...s-better-off-out-of-eu-with-managed-migration

I think they would treaty like one norway has with europe
He is a weak leader who will succumb to his party which is very pro-EU.

The young voted for him as he is a socialist who offered free stuff. It's the same as Bernie in US.

The young are fools who have no responsibilities or idea about how the world works. They should not be allowed to vote.

I donot think he is weak , his party wanted him to resign from post of oppistion leader and refrom his shadow cabinet

He resisted all this attempts and never resigned from his post

Yes he did not resign as he has a hoard of misguided youth supporting him, thus he can afford to go against his party wishes and stay on a leader.

However, on specific issues such as scrapping UK nuclear arsenal or being against the Queen, which he has believed in and campaigned for all his life, he could not even get into his manifesto.

He is just like any other politician, desperate enough to gain power and willing to compromise all ideals.
