[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 315199, member: 33219"] aah that would make sense, but at the same in a 'winner comes first' election system, it makes a mockery if the largest party (Conservatives) don't get any power. Much as I detest them, they have earned this much. Because of our electoral system, and our history, we are a very partizan country, which is why people aren't used to making concessions. Which is why a coalition is quite a big deal. What Paddy Ashdown said is the best quote of the night, though (paraphrasing): 'Cameron and the Conservatives should be the ones to form the government as the largest party, but they have not been given a mandate to rule in the interests of the Conservative party and must therefore show that they can rule in the National Interest instead' [/QUOTE]
