May had called the election three years early in a bid to strengthen her hand in looming Brexit negotiations, but her gamble backfired spectacularly.
With 636 of 650 seats in the House of Commons declared, the Conservatives had 310 to the Labor Party's 258.
"But Article 50 has been triggered and there needs to be some sort of brexit negotiation process take place".
It may well be able to form a minority government with the help of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party in the coming days and weeks, but the prime minister's ability to cling to the keys of Number 10 Downing Street is very much in doubt, and her stated goal of unifying the country behind her ahead of the upcoming Brexit negotiations with European Union leaders is utterly out of reach.
After a meeting with Britain's Queen Elizabeth, May promised to keep pushing forward to "fulfill the promise of Brexit".
The 10 DUP MPs could prove crucial in supporting the Conservatives on key votes after Thursday's election saw Mrs May lose control of the Commons. Speaking after being re-elected to his London seat, Corbyn said May should "go. and make way for a government that is truly representative of all the people of this country".
The new government and its partners will have to work hard to agree a strategy, although the EU's budget commissioner, Gunther Oettinger, tweeted that the United Kingdom is now a weaker negotiating partner than prior to the election and questioned whether the Brexit negotiations could start on schedule.
The Conservatives and the pro-Brexit DUP are expected to team up on a vote-by-vote basis rather than enter a formal alliance after the result left Britain with a hung parliament. Conservative MPs are publicly airing their anger, some calling for her ouster and others demanding radical change in her style of leadership.
"After the Tories' suicidal campaign, based on attacking its core voters over social care and winter fuel payments, how could the Prime Minister not summon the humility to say what needed to be said?" We know when they must end.
SCO summit: PM meets Ashraf Ghani, shakes hand with Modi
Both the countries signed a Memorandum of Obligations to join the organisation in last year's summit in Tashkent. Modi's comments on connectivity projects were made in the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping .
European Union budget commissioner Guenther Oettinger, meanwhile, warned that May was now likely to be a "weak" negotiating partner, which could also be bad for Europe.
Whoever controls Parliament, the British billionaires control the media - including the great portion of the British media owned by Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch - as well as the military and the monarchy through their money and the centuries of connections between the bourgeoisie and the aristocrats.
But Leftist opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose Labour party surged from 20 points behind in the opinion polls, told May to quit, saying she had "lost votes, lost support and lost confidence".
But helped by Mrs May's uninspiring Tory campaign, Mr Corbyn emerged from the election with his reputation enhanced, even though there remain many in the party who believe a more mainstream leader is required to actually win an election. I think there now should be a sort of cross-party commission or group set up to try and take forward those negotiations in a way that is open, that is thoughtful that is consensual, that accepts that not everyobdy is going to get the deal they want. However, many top party officials have called for a "softer" process.
The Conservatives "have lost their majority and the prime minister has lost all authority and credibility", said Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
May started making appointments to her cabinet on Sunday afternoon - announced in a series of emailed statements - as a parade of ministers walked past cameras and reporters to meetings in her Downing Street office. "It is quite possible there will be an election later this year or early next year", he told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
"Britain is about to find out the price of that failure".
The London Evening Standard, edited by former finance minister George Osborne who was sacked by May, splashed with a photo of her under the headline "Queen of Denial".
The Labour Party won 30 additional seats this election, and now has 261. Brexit, he said, would amount to a "new partnership with Europe". He has proven we need Labour to be a socialist alternative and real opposition to the dominant conservative ideology and vision for the UK.
