Election Update IV

[sabremeister]

It's pretty obvious (and has been for a couple of hours) that it's a hung parliament, with Cons the largest party. Listen to all the politicos performing verbal gymnastics not trying to make a definite statement about what will happen. And then listen to the news saying that the financial markets want certainty - they don't care who runs the country, as long as someone is. The politicos keep going on about providing "strong, stable government", and there they are not providing it by not giving a straight answer to straight questions, and watch our international credit rating, currency value and stock values plummet.

I used to have Facebook. Can't really be having with it, though. Not my style.
