Hanging parliament

[psychochicken]

So we have a hung parliament. No, sadly there were no gallows involved, just a highly disgruntled people and nobody who really sold their vision well enough to achieve enough majority. Not even with an electoral system which makes a mockery of voting

Personally, I'd prefer Conservative/Lib Dem or Tory minority government with Lib Dem support - Labour have had a 13 years innings and achieved some good things with equality, but they've been shown up as rank amateurs economically with growth being based around financial services that we've now seen was based on a credit bubble. Manufacturing has declined more than it ever has done in the past since 2000, which is quite worrying and indicates how Labour really deserted this important sector.

This isn't the same as the 1980s when government closed down loss-making state owned businesses (Cars and engineering and steelmaking) to cut costs, but wealth generating private sector businesses. It's no wonder that we're going to struggle with the balance of payments!
