All very well saying Labour have “lost their mandate to govern” when he’s not actually gained one either…
I guess a hung parliament has been most likely for the past few weeks, much as one might wish for a happier colour. I’ll bear the rest of your predictions in mind for later though 🙂

Here in Canada we’ve had a minority government for five years now, with little sign of it falling. The Conservative PM is pretty bland, but the Liberals have the least inspiring leader you could imagine and the NDP are lead by a nutter. (And the Bloc isn’t national.) The opposition parties don’t want to trigger an election, because they fear that the voters would blame them for having to trudge to the polls. That and they’re even less popular than our lackluster PM.
I think a minority government works, actually, simply because the governing party has to seek consensus. (And, in our case, the opposition parties have to as well.) Then again, I’m from the States where the President needs Congress and the voters often elect them from opposite parties.

Meaning relies on context and…

"Kelvin, notwithstanding the fact that I know that you dance around the flat with your cat doing Dusty Springfield numbers together, people do find you scary."I mean, really!

To Edinburgh
Oh, what a disturbing set of art installations made up the Ron Mueck show in Edinburgh. A large in your face baby lying on the floor, a teenager who looked like she was 58 and miserable, a man in a boat which was clearly taking him no-where and two sour biddies having a gossip. The…
