This is what it will be like for the next year or so. Endless, secret talks while we all hang around waiting for them to let us know.

Democracy? Don't make me laugh. It's going to be endless horse-trading to appease a party that could never get elected on its own merits.

I almost hope that the coalition of losers goes ahead and everyone can see the horlicks they make of it. THey'll have to scrounge votes from every single tiny party around.

Yuck.

I know Jeff - it's surely going to harm the chances of people voting for PR in any future referendum?

I think the Lib Dems are finished as a party if they throw their lot in with the losers in this election. They couldn't rise to the challenge. Perhaps Clegg and Laws should take the Tory whip and leave Cable and Hughes to be melded into Labour which is thier spiritual home anyway. Naked self interest - not a very edifying spectacle. When this is over and the stories come out - I'm betting only one party will emerge with any credit.

If we have proportional representation EVERY election in future could be like this .

Do you reckon they've dismantled all the polling booths yet? Maybe they should leave them be, and call another election for next Thursday!!

Heard Malcolm Riffkind this morning - he compared it to how Mugabe fixed an election that went against him.

'I'd rather have a minority Government under Gordon Brown backed up by the Tories on key votes'

At least there are some old-fashioned decent people there. D.Blunkett and J.Reid have my admiration for saying that this situation is dreadful. Kudos to them, unless they're taking some kind of stand re. the leadership election?

Yes, ajandjjmum, perhaps that would be best. What a situation.

If I was DC I'd step back and watch the balls-up, whilst getting ready for another election soon.
