personally I would like to see a coalition government take control, maybe it is time to break the cycle of party politics, whereby one party with a majority is able to govern without the checks and balances of democratic oversight and accord.

any coalition government with the liberal democrats would undoubtably result in electoral reform, which would more than likely include proportional representation, I feel that this can only be of benefit, less powerful governments would need to govern by consensus rather than relying upon their party whips to drive through unpopular and partisan policies.

interesting times indeed, David Cameron's thirst for power and Gordon Brown's desire to remain in situ could well result in a significant and long reaching overhaul of the UK's electoral and therefore parliamentary system.

a case of watch that space, even from down here I am glued to the developments....
I agree this country needs change and the people have voted for it. If Nick Clegg doesn’t go in with the Tories then he was not worth voting for. Ok I voted Tory for no other reason than I have never liked Gordon Brown or Tony Blair. Gordon Brown was not elected by the people and they have chosen to kick him out. The Labour Party has had 15 years to do something for GB and all they have done is get peace in Northern Ireland and placed us in two wars that we never needed, and I will tread no further in that department. They have done nothing for the voters only lined their own pockets and wasted our money on holding up financial institutes. It does not matter who the British people voted for, because the best thing was a hung Parliament, and if we get a good coalition out of the Lib/Dems and Tories, I think the Labour Party can kiss their ass’s goodbye, because they will never get in again after this fiasco. Because of the Labour Party and their treacherous behaviour half of the UK is owned by Europe the other half is in debt up to its neck, I’ll give you one guess what half the UK people have been left with?
