Yes it was an earthquake, so prepare for another one soon

So was the General Election the sixth earthquake? Oh yes. On top of all the previous quakes, we experienced another as the Conservatives lost their majority in the election that Theresa May never needed to call. Remember Brenda from Bristol on the day the election was called: “Another one? Why does she need to do it?” Why was Brenda not employed as a special adviser at Number 10?

Will this election be the sixth political earthquake in 10 years?

Gradually over the last few weeks of campaigning an apparently foregone conclusion has translated into the most uncertain of outcomes. It feels as if the political earth is moving under our feet. Why? Well, during the last decade no fewer than five political earthquakes have struck the United Kingdom. So unsteadiness is not exactly surprising... but what were these five seismic events?
