I think that the UK electorate have matured a lot in the last ten years and that the three main parties don't give us enough credit for our ability to see the wider picture. They only have to consider our collective response to the credit crunch over the last two years to see what a great bunch we are. Sure there are ups and downs, and we've seen that when any party has an overall majority for a sustained period, things start to go wrong. We've also learned from the 70's that rapid and successive changes of leadership do no good at all.

I was watching QT (the other QT) last night and it struck me how a considerable contingent in the audience seemed to actively WANT to see what we call a 'hung parliament'. I really do think that our politicians are capable of being able to work together now more than ever in history and it may be just the right time to take a brave leap to see how it works out.

Edit: For the record, I'm in an ultra-key marginal Lab/Con constituency due to boundary changes, but have always been a Labour voter. I'll be 'Tramping The Dirt Down' when the mother of a thousand dead finally gets put down.
