Brief election thought

glenatronI think a hung parliament may be the best outcome for this election- if any one party is going to have to take decisions that would potentially make them unelectable for a decade then they may back off, if it's a shared responsibility maybe they could handle it.
I do hope Labour get a kicking though - much as I hold the Tories in contempt for being, at heart, a bunch of corrupt, vile, malevolant bastards, at least they never claimed to stand for anything positive and worthwhile, whereas Labour once did and then betrayed it absolutely by proving themselves to be, at heart, a bunch of corrupt, vile, malevolant bastards. Not that there weren't some good Labour MPs after they were first elected- there really were - but there seem to be far fewer now and they have grown indolent and overly comfortable in their caviar-filled trough in Westminster.
I worry about the BBC being shredded by Cameron's faustian deal with the Murdoch organisation and that an outright Conservative victory will have nothing to offer but more of the same. Hopefully the Lib Dem surge will take them a step towards appearing to the general electorate as a truly viable opposition party at least. Ideologically they have been the only one of those for a long time now.
