British Prime Minister Theresa May and her husband Philip stand on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street, London, after addressing the press Friday, June 9, 2017 following an audience with Britain's Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham.
Support from Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) would allow her Conservatives to reach the 326 seats needed for a majority in parliament. It now holds 318 seats.
May has faced calls for her to resign but she has instead vowed to form a minority government with Northern Ireland's DUP (Democratic Unionist Party).
Having pretty much ignored Northern Ireland for the entire election, the political media are now beginning to ask a few questions about the DUP. With their election, we understand they will be in a better position not only to better protect the rights, serve their communities and remove misperceptions arising out due to some unfortunate incidents but also play an invaluable role in further strengthening the existing Pak-UK relations.
After a 20-minute audience with the Queen, Mrs May said she meant to form a new administration to take Britain into the Brexit negotiations that begin on June 19.
May has been pressing for a so-called "hard" Brexit, which would include leaving the EU's massive collective market and no longer allowing European Union citizens to live and work freely in the United Kingdom.
So we now have a coalition between the Conservatives and a party many people in the country have never even heard of.
May spent the campaign denouncing Corbyn as the weak leader of a spendthrift party that would crash Britain's economy and flounder in Brexit talks, while she would provide "strong and stable leadership" to clinch a good deal for Britain.
Newsnight political editor Nick Watt said the DUP and Conservatives had been "looking at the full range of possibilities" during Mr Williamson's visit.
"As and when details are finalised, both parties will put them forward". It's hard to predict how they'll react, he says.
The struggle is real for Katy Perry

British Prime Minister Theresa May was expected to name the rest of her cabinet on Saturday after a crushing election setback, just days before Brexit talks begin.
And for more on politics in the United Kingdom we turn now to George Parker, a political editor of the Financial Times.
In Brussels, home of the European Union, there was a mix of puzzlement, confusion and frustration over the chaos of British politics.
"We don't know when Brexit talks start", Tusk tweeted.
During the Northern Irish peace process, they stood their ground against British prime ministers, Irish taoisigh (prime ministers) and U.S. presidents.
"I could not care less what people get up to in terms of their sexuality, that's not a matter for me, when it becomes a matter for me is when people try to redefine marriage".
It was an election that no party won.
"And if, as the indications have shown and if this is correct that the Conservative Party has won the most seats and probably the most votes, then it will be incumbent on us to ensure we have that period of stability - and that is exactly what we will do".
"Given that the Lib Dems are where they are, what first attracted you to the anti-abortion, pro-Brexit, climate change deniers that are the DUP?" .
