Could have been worse
May. 7th, 2010 07:20 pmSo, we lost Evan Harris (and how the bloody hell did that happen?), and the Lib Dems have inexplicably done an awful lot worse than expected. Buggeration.
On the positive side, it's a hung parliament rather than a clear win for Cameron, we gained Caroline Lucas, at least there aren't any UKIP or BNP MPs, and Nick Griffin got his arse kicked in Barking.
There's apparently negotiations happening over the weekend for a Lib/Con coalition, which is not something that looks remotely stable or viable to me. There's still some hope for a Lib/Lab majority government, although they'd need to win over a lot of the minor parties to have a hope of getting anything through.
This is going to be incredibly messy.
