    What, how you don't elect a Prime Minister?

    Indeed, or how about, how come in the 2005 UK General election you ended up with a Labour Government even though they only got 35% of the vote.

    or how come Peter Mandelson is a Government minster even though he is not an elected MP.

    Anyway here the latest based on the poll of polls

    As of yesterday

    Adjusted swing, seat numbers

    Polling tracked since start of campaign

    So then, the Tories could form a minority government with or without help of some assorted others, a Lib Dem/Lab coalition is also possible but could a deal be done? How desperate are Labour? Might they actually be happy to let the Tories take power for a short lived administration and then pick up the pieces without Brown?.

    Well, the man from the Bank of England reckons whoever gets into power will be hated for a generation because of the cuts they will have to introduce. So maybe Labour would be happy with leaving the Tories to cope with the mess and then come back in when the economy is on the upswing.

    The answer to the original question has been answered and this thread since hurts the universe due to sucking the worth out of it.

    Owenc, I've sent you a PM, I would appreciate it greatly for you to take note of its content. This isn't a facepalm chatfest arena. Happily it's not going to become one either. Raise standards please, and yes, that's a nudge to others who have posted in the past page or two as well.

    Locked for sanity.
