I stayed up late to watch some of the election last night and what a mess it was. The hung parliament is going to be a mess as far as I can see and my guess would be that there will be another election within a year after some changes are made to the electoral system.
The first past the post system has lead to the hung parliament situation that the UK is in and that is nobodies fault, but the fact that there were people unable to cast their votes for whatever reason is totally unacceptable. I suspect we are in for a torrid few weeks whilst all of this is sorted out, the constitution and rules are examined in fine detail and the powers that be decide how to move forward.
From a distance it is a bit like watching a car crash in slow motion.
Yes.
