The election that didn't elect.

This from a LibDem:
"It gives me absolutely no pleasure whatever to write this - I am a party member of the LibDems (or was until today - the chance of my renewing my membership has receded significantly if the party is unable to display any maturity and judgement)."
If you recall I long ago said the LibDems would do badly at this election ( actually worse than the outcome) and now I believe they will split again. We will return to effective 2 party system democracy at the next election, when the LibDems will be wiped out.

"Humiliated.Hopeless. Paralysed"

Peter Hoskin on Coffee House has a telling remark from a Labour Minister. It comes originally from Alice Miles in today's Times, but says:
"'Gordon doesn't start from a position of conviction, he just wants to create dividing lines with the Conservatives".
Can't help but say " I told you so."
