What if......
The poll that has everyone talking is the one that puts the LibDems second in YouGov only three points behind the tories. What happens to the British political system if the LibDems beat either the Conservatives or Labour in this election by vote share and not by MP's. Will their point finally be made on PR. It seems that it would, but the question who will give the LibDems the right deal. Gordon Brown may make overtures to them but some socialist MP's (Tom Harris) will never support the idea and may make it impossible to pass PR. This uncertainy could cause unbearable problems. I hate to say it, but as an American, if we dont know who is in charge for a week, it will make us wary. Honestly if government decisions were made in Buckingham Palace we would have more confidence than a Hung Parliament. It is just how American Ignorance works.
