So it's a hung parliament. Or a balanced parliament as the minority parties prefer to call it. My view is whichever party runs the country they are going to be in for an extremely rough ride. They are going to have to make cuts, which won't be popular. What is happening on the continent will have its affect here, even though we are not part of the Eurozone.
On the election reporting last night, when it was mentioned that the 'markets' would not respond well to a 'hung parliament', Mariella Frostrup indicated her frustration that even after the banking crisis, we as a country are still at the mercy of the money markets. I'm with her there! Our country seems to sink or swim as a result of the 'markets'. Honestly, what is all that about?
But back to my original point, any party is going to have a rough ride and will soon be pretty unpopular with the voters. So my advice to Gordon Brown is, let David Cameron lead the country. He'll then get all the stick and in a year or so's time when we have another election, you can say your policies would have worked better, and maybe get a swing back to Labour!
Who knows?
