To say that a hung parliament is not what anyone wanted is true. Everything is up in the air again, with the stability that Theresa May was looking for from this election a distant wish. As she heads to the Palace this afternoon we have to wonder how tenable her plans to use support from the DUP can be.
Without a clear path it is difficult to say what will happen next. One thing is for sure though, any policies and manifesto promises will have to wait, which could mean the current slowing in the housing market continues. However, the tide waits for no man and in reality things will keep moving despite, rather than because of, the politics going on around us.
