   For God's sake, will someone with an elementary knowledge of arithmetic please fix that stupid majority of 8 nonsense?  There are 650 seats. The Tories have 331. Therefore, everyone else has 650-331=319.  Therefore, the Tories have a majority of 331-319=12, that's TWELVE.  Please don't go into the issue of Sinn Fein not swearing allegiance (which makes the Tories' effective majority equal to 16). Let's try to get over this elementary hurdle first.  While we're at it, Prime Ministers ARE NOT ELECTED in the Westminster system. Individual MPs are elected and as a result, The Prime Minister does or does not continue in office.
