"I will now form a government", May said in a speech outside her official residence at No. 10 Downing Street after meeting with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace on Friday.
British Prime Minister Theresa May will form a government with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the Northern Irish party whose socially conservative views on gay rights and religion have come under fresh scrutiny.
"The key finance, foreign, Brexit, interior and defense ministers would remain unchanged".
The Conservative Party has depended on Irish politicians before: Prime Minister John Major relied on support from the Ulster Unionist Party to shore up his tiny majority in 1992-1997.
May called a snap general election in April, being convinced the British public would give her a strong mandate as she prepares for a battle with the European Union over Britain's post-Brexit relationship with the bloc.
He told BBC Question Time: "Not only must she not resign, she has to not resign in the interest of the country because we need to move forward, we have got to go into the Brexit negotiations". Some colleagues may be lining up to replace her, if she fails to pull the plan through.
"As we do, we will continue to work with our friends and allies in the Democratic Unionist Party in particular". The Liberal Democrats made four gains, winning 12 seats in all. "I think the only thing that political commentators can agree on is that we have uncertainty right now and nobody has any clue what shape this negotiation is going to take".
Despite failing to win a majority of the seats, May will attempt to form a government.
Green stays in Game 4 after technical foul fiasco
Green will be in more familiar territory on Monday night as the Cavs head to Oracle Arena in Oakland in a do-or-die Game 5.
Mrs May needs the support of the party in Northern Ireland to have a majority in parliament after the Conservatives lost 13 seats in Thursday's election.
Mrs. Foster said her and Theresa May would talk more to "explore how it may be possible to bring stability to this nation at this time of great challenge".
Dr Porter said the election campaign had shown that "people care deeply about the future of health and social care in this country" and said the next Government would have to make it its priority.
With almost all votes counted, the Conservative Party has 318 seats, according to the BBC.
Meanwhile, the Scottish National Party retained just 35 of the 56 seats it secured two years ago and lost its Westminster leader, Angus Robertson, and former first minister Alex Salmond.
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 Labour Party, under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, meanwhile gained at least 29 seats, shattering the Conservatives' hope of gaining a clear validation of their Brexit strategy.
As reported in the Guardian, the DUP are against same-sex marriage, they are anti-abortion, and they are climate change deniers.
The DUP, Northern Ireland's largest political party, has been repeatedly at odds with the region's LGBT community.
