Sturgeon because the incessant banging on about a second Scottish independence referendum drove voters away to the Scottish Tories
Nuttall & Farage because UKIP is now pretty much finished as a political party, in all honesty once the Leave result last year won UKIP should had disbanded
In fact, only the DUP seem to have been the big winners out of this election, finding themselves effectively in government, even if there's no official coalition or confidence and supply agreement between them. However, I cannot see this lasting for a full 5 years now so I am 90% sure we will be having the election by 2020. Also probably without May as leader of Tories.

They'll be another election this year never mind 2020. The DUP are right wing homophobic trouble making nutters. They'll be demanding everything and holding her to ransom. Only takes a few Tories to rebel on any issue or a couple of by elections for it all to fall. One of her MPs is in court facing charges next month; he'll find it hard to vote behind bars.
Labour didn't win but they did far better than anyone expected. They are going forwards, the Tories have pressed the self destruct button as usual. Jezza needs to bring some of the former Labour big guns back, but they have to accept why he's been successful and that New Labour is history.

Yes a lot of Tories seem to have that sentiment. None of them said it before the election though, they thought she was a tactical genius ! They underestimated Corbyn and took the public for granted. The tide is turning, the next few months will be a shambles and the Tories will get the blame. Meanwhile Labours support will increase.
