For a moment we thought we were going to have the following scenario (from National Review Online):
"Instead, post-election, the "unelected" prime minister is now insisting he'll stay in office until he can make way for another "unelected" prime minister from his own party — the party which lost the election — once it has successfully concluded negotiations with the party that came third in the election. Meanwhile, the party that won the most seats throughout the UK, and a clear majority in England, will be entirely excluded"
British democracy in action!
Still it seems to be almost sorted now, and perhaps the new government can get on with the task of running the country and paying off our debt. There are some great pictures floating around of official handshakes with the Queen (who has seen 12 Prime Ministers in her reign) which are sure to appear in satirical TV shows! I like the efficiency of the whole thing; Gordon leaves 10 Downing Street, pops into the palace to say bye and on his way out passes David on his way in to say hi. David then goes to his new home/office and starts to dish out jobs there and then! And all within the space of about 45 minutes!! And the Queen settles down to watch Emmerdale...(although probably not wearing a crown)
