What next?
Jeremy Corbyn appears to have earned right to stay on as leader
Theresa May will have to take full responsibility if her party can’t form government
LIB DEM
TIM Farron is likely to face a leadership battle after a poor Lib Dems campaign.
The party pinned its hopes on winning over large swathes of pro-EU voters in the aftermath of last year’s bruising Brexit referendum.
But the campaign was heavily criticised for focusing too much on the EU and poll ratings were almost static.
Mr Farron, above, became leader only in 2015 after the party’s ballot box battering at the last general election.
Now with many within the party suggesting they need a fresh start, his future may depend on whether viable candidates, such as Jo Swinson or Sir Vince Cable, made it to the Commons.
UKIP
UKIP’s future as a major party is in doubt as its post-Brexit referendum identity crisis looks set to continue.
Leader Paul Nuttall, above, has been under increasing pressure to justify UKIP’s ongoing existence as Britain waits in the EU departure lounge.
He responded by pulling his party further to the right as the election campaign wore on.
UKIP’s future could lie as an antiimmigration pressure group, dedicated to increasingly hardline statements about Islamist extremism.
But Mr Nuttall could face calls to quit after failing to make the case the party was still relevant, as he struggles to emerge from Nigel Farage’s shadow.
