    Former politics lecturer Adrian Lee has said it's "difficult to see" what might happen following the election result.

    "You can't construct a more fraught scenario than the electorate has thrown up this time," he said.

    "[Theresa May] calls an election which is supposed to strengthen her hand as far as Brexit is concerned and the electorate make it about other issues."

    BBC South West Political Editor

    Like most rural South West seats, Cornwall South East has traditionally been disputed by the Tories and the Lib Dems.

    The Conservatives held it from 1970 until 1997 when the Liberal Democrat Colin Breed won the seat. Mr Breed had increased his majority to 6,500 by the time he retired in 2010.

    The seat was then taken by the current Conservative defender Sheryll Murray with a majority of 3,220. Murray’s majority rocketed to 16,995 in 2015, with the once-formidable Lib Dems falling back to just 8,521 votes.

    UKIP (7,968 votes here in 2015) are not standing a candidate this time in favour of Murray, a leading Brexit-campaigner in the region who previously worked in the fishing industry.

    The candidates are Martin Corney (Green Party), Gareth Derrick (Labour), Phil Hutty (Liberal Democrat), Sheryll Murray (Conservative).

    "All eyes are on the Cornish results to see if they change the national projection," former history lecturer Adrian Lee has said during his analysis of the latter stages of the election count.

    "The BBC is projecting that the Conservatives are going to have a total of 318 seats - and that's presuming that the Cornish seats stay Conservative. They need 326 for a technical majority.

    "The only other party who could contribute to that, as all the others have said no, is the Democratic Unionist Party.

    "What sort of arrangement they would come to and what terms they would extract is impossible to know."

    As Truro and St Austell, this seat has had a mixed parliamentary history during the past 60 years. It was a Tory seat until 1974, when it fell to the Liberal candidate David Penhaligon.

    He held it until his death in a car accident in 1986. He was succeeded by his 24-year-old researcher Matthew Taylor.

    Mr Taylor was re-elected for the fifth and final time, with a majority of 7,403, in 2005 before retiring in 2010.

    NewquayImage source, Google

    The first MP for the new seat of St Austell and Newquay, elected in 2010, was the Liberal Democrat Stephen Gilbert.

    Gilbert defended a majority of 1,312 in 2015 but was defeated by Conservative challenger Steve Double. Double is now defending a majority of 8,173; Gilbert is attempting to retake it.

    St Austell and Newquay is one of the five Cornish seats in which UKIP has chosen not to stand in favour of an incumbent Tory Brexiteer.

    The candidates are Steve Double (Conservatives), Stephen Gilbert (Liberal Democrat), Kevin Neil (Labour)

    Theresa May's Conservatives are set to be the largest party in a hung Parliament after losing seats in England and Wales.

    All eyes will be in Cornwall to see if they win enough seats for the possibility of a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party.

    The Conservatives have 312 seats, and the DUP 10. But 326 seats are needed for a majority - making these last few constituencies key areas.
