UK Election - Hung Parliament could be just what we need!

It doesn’t matter how much Mr Murdoch may want to paint the prospect of Gordon Brown forming the next government as being undemocratic, he’s simply wrong.

First, it’s Gordon Brown’s constitutional right, but perhaps more importantly if Mr Nick Clegg, Well HungBrown were to form a government it would invariably comprise a true coalition of parties from across the United Kingdom. What’s more they’d collectively represent somewhere in the region of 60% of the electorate, a greater margin even than that achieved by Barack Obama's current administration. I doubt the UK would’ve had such a representative government in years, and sounds like the perfect solution for governing through such a tricky period in our history.

There’s no fault in our system, this is what our friends and neighbors have voted for. Long live true democracy!
