Hmmm …
Well …
Hmmm …
Well, it finally look’s like the UK has a Hung Parliament.
And I’m not too sure how I fell about that.
I’ll be honest, I voted Liberal-Democrat. As any of my neighbours who passed my front room window would’ve been able to guess.
So the news that Nick Clegg is considering a coalition, that both Gordon Brown’s Labour party and David Cameron’s Conservatives — who came out with a majority, if not an absolute majority — is unsurprising.
Although, personally, I’m none to sure that I care for the idea of a Lib-Con or Lib-Lab pact.
I’d’ve been a lot comfier with the idea of the Liberal Democrat’s as the Official Opposition.
Fat chance, given the way our electoral system is set up.
So I can’t help think that both Labour and Conservative making assorted noises about voting reform — after all, after having found out that my vote, along with all of my immediate neighbours is effectively worth 1/20th of a vote — is nice.
But I don’t know whether or not Nick Clegg should trust either Cameron or Brown.
I’ve a feeling neither will be offering a real change, there.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
