Election Day

I walked to the polling station without any clear sense of what the outcome of the day might be.   If my guess in the sweepstake of 282 votes for Cameron is remotely correct, then it looks as if it will be hard, if not impossible, for him to form a government.   But, equally, government by a party which doesn’t get a majority of the vote and relies on a coalition with the Scottish Nationalists looks and feels impractical in the long term.   I voted for the party which believes in, and will campaign for, staying in Europe;  the party which will be crucial to making any coalition government work;  and the party which still has vestiges of nineteenth-century liberalism at its core.

    Agreed – they have been unjustly punished for one failure.I hope they don’t coalesce to the left.
