it's unfortunate, it's a bit surprising, but mostly it's just bollocks (excuse my french).
what really shocked me, however, was that people were turned away from the polls, i really found it hard to swallow (something which normally isn't the case).
What annoyed me when I looked closely at British politics - Gordon Brown appeared at Bradford Uni 2 days ago - was how much more anti-campaigns are valued over pro-campaigns. They don't tell you why you should vote for them, other than "so that the others don't win", which appears to be something the voters are happy with, and that says a lot about the British voters in my book.
But, to be fair, it's not so much the election that indicates the need for serious reform, but the circumstances that led to so many seats for the Tories.
(also, i giggle when i think of "hung" parliament, which probably does say something about how 'important' my opinion is )
