Over. Done and dusted. Thank fuck.
So the Lib-Dems didn’t do as well as expected but Clegg is still the Kingmaker and it seems that his suitor of choice will be Cameron.
Now I know that this will more than upset the Lib-Dem rank-and-file and many millions beyond that are crying out for electoral reform, but Clegg is no Charlie Kennedy. You won’t find Lib-Tory Nick within a borough of a Stop The War Coalition platform. His elevation to party leader, now with the crown in his hand walking away from Brown who has been begging him all night to place it on the bonce of the Eton trifle Cameron.
Tory Boys Dave and Boris: Eating Trifles?
This election was all about the Tories and Labour. The closeness and the first past-post system did for the Lib-Dems as it did for the left (barring some notable decent results) and possibly put paid to the Nazis getting a foothold (although the size of their vote is worrying and needs to be addressed).
The real question is what now?
As has been said before, whoever’s head Clegg lays the crown on, that alliance will be looking to give our class a kicking. But as Jimmy Cliff says:
