Looks like a hung parliament.
My view is that the UK electorate have voted for Conservative economic policies tempered by Liberal fairness. Will they get this?
A lot of the news reports suggest that the Queen may have a big part to play in the formation of the new Government - instigating shot-gun marriages between parties. Anyone any views on an unelected monarch having such influence?
The tories had a great chance and blew it but the real winners here could and should be the lib dems.
Not all bad news - looks like Peter Robinson will be no more in NI.
There's still a chance he might win!Given the apathy to the current government in the UK, Gerry Adams could have won that election.
Considering the hard decisions that have to be made in the UK over the next 4 years they need a government with a 20-30 seat majority. In that context anything other than a Conservative-Lib.Dem government will be a disaster.
I think it's a massive loss for Cameron more than anyone else.
What a sad party Labour are, full of lies and false promises.
the lib dems will be part of the next govt but i cant understand how poorly theyve done on overall seats. In view of the fact that the genral public are so angry with govts everywhere it seems it at the end of the day the public will stick with the devil they know and will not opt for an alternative. Switching from labour to tory being the norm anyway
Under first past the post they got 10% of the seats. under Proportional representation they would have got 25%.
This is why the Lib Dems want PR introduced.
Because mostly poor people join the army.One thing I can't understand is why didn't the Afghanistan war become an election issue. The body bags are still coming home and it is not a very popular war.
