If the exit poll is right(ish), I think I'd see a Tory minority government much more likely than any other outcome.
It would still be a Tory agenda, but there'd be a prospect of much more effective opposition: even with Unionist support, the Tories would be at risk of losing every vote, though the opposition could never guarantee winning it.
A progressive alliance is a lovely pipedream, but on these numbers (and especially without the shinners), it's just that.
