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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
