May said she could rely in parliament on the support of her "friends" in Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party after her governing Conservatives failed to emerge as clear winners.
"What the country needs more than ever is certainty", she said.
Rachel Sheard, who was casting her vote near the site of Saturday's attack in London, said the election had not gone as expected - and that it certainly wasn't about Brexit.
British Prime Minister Theresa May's gamble in calling an early election appeared Friday to have backfired spectacularly, with a real possibility that her Conservative Party could lose its majority in Parliament. Beleaguered May is appointing new members of her government after several. Negotiations with the European Union are scheduled to begin later this month.
"It's a bit of a mess", Peter Morgan said in London. "I'm not sure that we should read, from the results of this vote, that Britons' sovereign decision on Brexit has been cast into doubt in any way".
The DUP's deputy leader Nigel Dodds confirmed that the party's condition for shoring up the new Tory government is an assurance that Northern Ireland will not be accorded special European Union status after Brexit that will keep it distinct from the rest of the United Kingdom.
"The instability that we now have is not from the Labour Party or other parties, it's the Conservative Party itself".
Her Labour rival Jeremy Corbyn, once written off by opponents, said Mrs May should step down and he wanted to form a minority government.
She insisted that she would stick to the Brexit timetable. "And I don't feel like the current prime minister or, indeed, the Tory party, has any idea about what to do with Brexit at the moment".

Despite having only recently turned 20, or perhaps because of it, she brimmed with confidence and performed with conviction. "It's an incredible thing". "Jelena, enjoy it, be happy, because you are young like a kid".
Britain's election is providing another night of political shock and surprise. No, Dunt said, but May's vision of a so-called "hard Brexit" - in which the United Kingdom would most likely leave the single European Union market, take full control over its borders, strike new trade deals and apply laws within its own borders - has been rejected.
Students and staff at the institution, which bills itself as "the U.K.'s European university" because of its diverse population, also were anxious about how May was going to lead Britain out of the European Union, he added. But EU Council President Donald Tusk said: "We know when they must end".
JOHN SPRINGFORD: There's only about 18 months left to negotiate the Brexit deal, and if, say, we have another three or four months while the government is formed or we have fresh elections, then there's much less time.
Labour sweetened its platform with things like free tuition for university but the Tories offered little to get people excited. Meanwhile, the Labour Party surged, winning 29 seats in areas where the party's lukewarm support for the Brexit played well.
The DUP is skeptical of Europe and is pro-Brexit. The country would also gain full control over its borders.
"We are ready to do everything we can to put our program into operation; there isn't a parliamentary majority for anybody at the present time, the party that has lost in this election is the Conservative Party, the arguments the Conservative Party put forward in this election have lost".
She had spent the campaign denouncing Mr 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.
"The prime minister has spoken with me this morning", Foster said.
