Not until we know all the results but it's headed that way. If the Tories don't get the magic 326 MPs we have a hung parliament.

I think that's the way we're heading.

No. But, as sitting PM, GB can opt to hold onto power if he can form a coalition with the LDs.

No, but they can form a coalition with another 1 or 2 parties to govern. Wont be as stable as if they could govern by themselves, but better than letting Cameron, Osborne et al in.

It's already been dubbed 'a government of the losers' if we are saddled with a Lib/Lab pact.

MrsLiberalTheWaitress · 07/05/2010 06:02

Lab plus LD is now a majority. Keeping my fingers crossed as I think that's the best outcome IMO.

If the tories win I am actually going to cry!!

No disrespect to any tory voters

They've won on the basis of being the party with most seats already. Not a parliamentary majority but quite a significant shift in support.

Chil1234 · 07/05/2010 07:40

Oh yes... and Lab + LD might not have enough seats for an overall majority even if they stick together. This time it really isn't over until the fat lady is gargling on the TCP
