I voted Liberal Democrat, but does that make me a Liberal Democrat? I don’t know the answer to my own question, which is why I am posing it to the world. Not that I expect a definitive answer, but you’re quite welcome to try, dear reader!

The British people have spoken – We’re just not entirely sure what they said. I’m paraphrasing David Milliband on BBC Radio 4 this morning. One thing is clear: first past the post has failed its only defenders. The Conservative Party do not have a clear mandate to govern, as they have failed to win a a majority, despite being the largest party in the new Parliament. No one won – the voters in the British General Election have delivered a Hung Parliament, and what happens next is anyone’s guess. This could take a while to sort out, so pass the popcorn.

I agree with Nick, do you agree with Nick? Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats are in dreamland this weekend after a huge post-debate surge for the LibDems. Will they be able to keep this momentum up until the election and will it translate into a hung parliament? (Or a Liberal Democrat government, dare we dream!?) It all remains to be seen, but it has certainly turned what looked like a boring election into a very interesting one. As Nick Clegg himself put it, “all bets are off.” And so they are as all polls including youGov show a very strong showing from the “third party.”
