@Moon, Aye
@Polite, He was elected by parliament, same as all the others, quit ya moaning :p
I'm not sure the BNP'll manage a seat, they're likely to make a good solid push for Griffin.....but don't think they'll manage it. UKIP are apparently having major financial worries, but have good public support as a protest vote....greens may have been damaged by the recent weakening of human global warming theory they've tied too strongly to, but in Brighton they're the sort that the 'doubt' will only have increased their fervour I suspect.
Hung parliament could theoretically be the preferable option.....most everyone would in reality like some combination of different party policies....it's tricky to see how it'd work though. National Unity gov won't happen, so lib dems.....and who? their supporters tend to be more laboury, but leadership is closer to cons, and browns unpopular if he stays lab leader, and his alleged people skills don't bode well for an alliance.....but so many high up libs (and others tbh) view cameron as just a slimy PR bastard....and cons are dead set against proportional representation which libs would demand.....maybe there's an outside chance of lab/socialdems/SNP scraping together enough seats....but that'd be incredibly unpopular I reckon.
If the result is a hung parliament, I see another election pretty soon after, with the electoral reform debate coming into sharp focus. Then again, mebe Brown'll get the shove even if he manages to get a strong lab hung parliament, and then lib-lab pact all the way....
