I suppose it was unrealistic to expect Labour to form a new government whilst simultaneously electing a new party leader.

In addition, Labour had probably had enough of being told what to do by the libs.

Nonetheless, the Tories have shown that they are willing to work in a cooperative coalition.

If we have PR then thats the way we want parties to behave.

So Labour claimed to be in favour of PR, but in practice it may be the tories who will show that they are able to share power.

Unexpectedly progressive!

Whatever happens, Brown is officially recommending the Queen to invite Cameron to form a government.

odds on that we'll have a ConDem Government before tomorrow night.

It will be very surprising if we don't.

Labour supporters can't complain, as Labour appear to have chosen these circumstances for themselves.
