Now Officially a Hung Parliament!

[weegiemum]

I'm glad I think.

Its good that there will have to be cooperation.

Worried what it will be though.

i'm not sure how i feel about it all tbh. need some time to absorb

what will happen next?

It's very exciting.

I'd only just realised that it could actually be a good thing.

How will it work though? Does it mean that Gordon Brown will still be PM?

I can't decide whether its exciting or whether its a let down....

Game of limbo anyone?

who knows what will happen.......

(I'm going for exciting - a chance for electoral reform)

the ONLY thing that is clear from this election is that electoral reform is being demanded by the electorate!

GB now has the opportunity to form a government - should be a very interesting few days!

Gordon brown remains PM until he resigns. Huge vote of no confidence for him - wonder what he will do?

which is more likley

the lib dems join labour

or

the lib dems join the torys?

Well said Sophable

join labour I think but would only work if other smaller parties came on board too.

Last week NC said there was no way he'd do a deal with Labour, and even if he did they'd still be a minority coalition based on results as they stand. He's going to make a statement in half an hour.

can i just interject:

i know that astrology is scorned by most, but interestingly mercury is retrograde at the moment. this implies there will be no clarity until it turns direct on 15th may.

Interesting question Banana - I think there is more chance of a Lib/Lab (sounds like a new dog bred to me) coalition than a Lib/Con.

Ask him to come back and see if he wants to have a little chat about what he may do! We can talk to him about sleepless nights and tantrums.

did not know that NC is going to make a statement on half an hour

i'm nervously excited

half an hour???? aaargh - I have to go out in 15 minutes. I've waited up almost all night to see what happens and I'm going to miss NC's statement

lib / lab does sound like a new breed of dog

I don't scorn it sophable. Mercury causes havoc. The election is just reflecting people's general uncertainty.

sophable, good as anything right now!!

i really hope that the country now gets it:

a party can get nearly a quarter of the popular vote (libdems 23%) and that is absolutely and totally not reflected in terms of the number of MPs.

it really is a disgrace!

Oh I should really be cleaning the house before MILs annual visit... a hung parliament just seems so much more interesting....

Lib-lab - ooh that takes me back to the 70s

leave the house your MIL might visit once a year but the last hung parliment was 1974
