I have a feeling that LibDems could have done a lot better if they had committed themselves to supporting a Labour minority before the election. The trouble with Clegg was that no voter knew quite what they were going to get. I think this may have fueled indecision among anti-Conservative...
New election because of the chaos and thousands of uncounted votes! Heads must roll at the election commission.

Yeah, it would require Conservatives to postpone the scrapping of benefits for children.
I note that the vast majority of new Conservative voters are young and without children.
Their arrogance/ignorance is really startling. However, those qualities are historically associated with the party so at least they are being consistent :)
