So Heeeere's The Deal

The British Electorate has effectively said to David Cameron what Dr Cox says here to JD. Except for waffles, you have to substitute Tory.



Because, with the current situation, the stats be thus:

Conservatives = 290
Labour = 247
Liberal Democrats = 51
Others = 27

That means we DEFINITELY have a hung parliament, as The Evening Stanners predicted: the Conservatives cannot get the 326 seats needed to form a government. It will not suit everyone, but at least the parties will have to work with each other a bit more. Perhaps the most ominous thing about the current situation is that, with 298 seats between them, Labour and the Lib Dems could quite easily gang up on the Conservatives. Not the best time to be in the Shadow Cabinet, then.



Nick Clegg is on his way down to London. For him, Gordon Brown, and David Cameron, it is decision time.

The last 35 seats will make some difference: but for now, it's deal-making time.
