Britain may have ended up with a hung parliament - but the snap election clearly galvanised voters, with the highest turnout in 25 years.
"What the country needs more than ever is certainty", she insisted.
S&P's sovereign chief ratings officer Moritz Kraemer told CNBC the assessment will depend "pretty much on the further outcome of the Brexit negotiations and the reality that the United Kingdom will face outside the European Union, which is still uncertain". So, the fate of this hung parliament has a lot to do with the future course of EUFN (read: UK Votes for Brexit: ETFs Winners & Losers ).
He also said that the government will need to immediately reassure business it will protect the economy from any political turmoil.
"We might have a softer version of Brexit, a smoother transition", noted Wilson at ETX.
Arlene Foster, the head of the DUP, said in 2016: "I would not want abortion to be as freely available here as it is in England and don't support the extension of the 1967 act".
"Businesses are adept at forming alliances and coalitions when important interests are at stake".
The shock election result and the prospect that the European Union will now be negotiating with a shaky British government cast dark clouds over the Brexit negotiations. May's hard Brexit. "She should consider her future - and then, for once, she should consider the future of our country". The Conservatives will now likely be aided by the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, which has 10 seats and tends to vote with them on most issues anyway.
It is too early to say with any certainty what the change from a majority to minority government will mean to Brexit. They sent a wave of anxiety through Britain and forced May to defend the government's record on fighting terrorism. She added: "Now let's get to work".
Martin urged parties to "swallow their pride and work on a cross-party basis". We know when they must end.

The Spaniard's Belgian team mate Stoffel Vandoorne had an even more frustrating day and will start 16th in the 20 vehicle field. In Q1, Bottas was first into the 1:12s in qualifying with his best lap of the weekend to date in his Mercedes at a 1:12.864.
Yesterday the people of the United Kingdom produced an election result that has shaken the UK's political establishment to the core.
The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) warned that the next government should be "especially careful to avoid knee jerk changes to taxation, employment regulation or visa controls" associated with the UK's exit from the EU.
May had not planned for a coalition when she called the early elections in mid-April.
Behind the scenes, members of her own party were discussing whether to keep her - with some concluding that, sooner or later, she would have to go.
Richard Godmon, tax partner at Menzies, said, "This may mean that it is going to be very hard to get any of the main promises into legislation, so perhaps whilst parliamentary proceedings maybe exciting, actual changes to the tax rules may be limited".
However they may not have influence for long; the knives are out for Theresa May and she might be turfed as leader of the Conservative Party.
RSM said the next government facing three pressing challenges, including the need of a tax system simplification, the restoration of faith in the tax system and the opportunity to design a post-Brexit tax system.
But EU officials question how any British government could persuade voters to accept a Norway-style package and so would be wary of starting down the path of negotiating it for fear of ending up without a deal that both sides could ratify in 2019. May said outside Downing Street after returning from Buckingham Palace, where she received the Queen's permission to form a government, though the Conservatives lost at least 12 seats.
If all this uncertainty weren't enough, the Labour Party, which won 261 seats in the election, has its own divisions to deal with. Jeremy Corbyn has urged May to quit, saying Labour was "ready to serve". I think part of what we saw today with Theresa May rushing - some said rather hastily - to do this deal with the minority, the Democratic Unionist Party, was perhaps to seize the initiative before people could start clamouring to call for her to go.
The deal being pursued could allow May to make an informal arrangement that could see the DUP lend its support to the Tories on a vote-by-vote basis, known as "confidence and supply", according to reports.
