While everyone is talking about a "hung Parliament", I was listening to the radio the other day and heard an interview with the leader of the Scottish National Party (sorry can't remember his name) in which he referred to it as a balanced Parliament.

I like the idea of calling it that rather than a hung one, at least in theory.

Yes, the phrase strikes me as a bit of modern media coinage, but I can't prove it. I wonder what phrase they were using in the 1920's- it happened a couple of times then.

People seem to forget what clegg, brown and cameron were saying to each other before election night?
How can they possibly trust eachother? They cant and wont!!
Brown is a scape goat here, although he seems to have not done well, i take my hat off to him. Tony Blair is the one fingers should have been pointed at.
Cameron is the current record holder as being the biggest penis in the world and completely fake. Clegg was a media hyped figure, in order to get more public interested in an absolute fiasco. Need proof? Just look at the actual seats they got and then look at the predicted in the polls. Absolute sham....
Why not just have a new Vote?

Couldn't have put it better myself In my view i think that Brown done all he could, our country is a mess and I don't think anyone can save us now

This is surprising, I wonder what President Obama and D.C have to say about this. Who's going to take his place? How does that work?

Some tart does the nasty and 9 months latter the next PM pops out with a beard and
a briefcase ready to go!!!

The story is Gordon Brown is going to step down, he has not done so yet, the response given are, the Lib Dems can not get the Tories to agree to some terms deemed necessary for the well being of the country, like Electoral reform, the Tories will not agree to it, which is what we all knew anyhow, the Tories are not interested in change just more of the same Thatcher ism we suffered back in the 80's.

Cameron was a Thatcher cronie, he was always seen following behind her at different events as a Junior Tory (being taught the ropes for the future?)

The Lib Dems want reform for our Political system, they are actually listening to what the people want, and they hold all the cards right now.

Brown is unelected, he was not voted as Leader of the Labour Party, and unelected in a General Election, it looks like part of the agreement for support for Labour to stay in Government is for Brown to agree to go, which he has, they had several secret meetings over the weekend, and most of the Lib Dems do not agree with Tory policies, just the fact Cameron wont agree to reform or a referendum on the matter has pissed many people off big time, especially since a lot of MP's where caught thieving from the people.

IMO this is the best thing which could have happened, a leadership election, my hope is Harriet Harman does not get to lead.

We wanted change and thanks to the small Party's we are going to get it, they do not have a choice, even though the Tories won most seats, the constitution gives the Standing Government the right to remain if they can get the other party's to support them, Brown should never have been Prime Minister, there should have been a leadership election and then a General Election right after.

It was like a coup without a single shot being fired, and it's about to be put right.

I just wonder what part the Queen has had to play in all this, maybe she threw a hint or two she would not give permission for the Tories to form a Government until what the people wanted was taken into account, which Cameron seems to be making clear he is not willing to do.

This is what makes Britain Great, the people get their way in the end, I can see a pull out of Afghanistan coming soon after this is all settled, enough is enough.

Early 2011 I can see the first of the withdrawals happening, an end to the false terror war,we have so many new MP's there has to be a change.

Blair fled the scene once allegations about the illegal Iraq war came towards him, Brown felt he was strong and decisive enough to take up the challenge but came along several crisis' in which he did not act fast or decisively thus leading to his downfall. He made the wise move of stepping down but could of done it a little early to save himself some dignity, politicians here in the U.K seem to be immune from getting charged by the police for their crimes and to be quite frank politics here at the moment are a shambles. Hopefully Cameron and Cleggs cabinets will be more legit and less cunning. I thought we were supposed to hear the outcome of the Iraq enquiry a week before the election? does anyone know when it's been postponed until or is Blair buying time with his wealth to save his ass?

The only way would be to hold another vote. This is a sham.
If libs side with labour there will be riots considering they came below the cons.... If the libs side with the cons. riots and financial collapse. I`ll be suprised if anything is sorted today. I still think it is a fix and orchestrated.
