I read an interesting article on www.charter2010.co.uk regarding polls showing that a hung parliament is very likely. What do you think about this? <br />I think that parties should commit themselves now to working to produce a multi-party supported government on a fixed four-year term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-30170988916303457992010-01-20T12:13:14.641+00:002010-01-20T12:13:14.641+00:00New website campaign calls for four-year

At the same time the grave <br />continuing economic and fiscal crisis will be the major issue facing our government. <br /> <br />Around half of recent opinion polls put a hung parliament as a possible election result - if <br />current voting intentions, as given to the pollsters, are translated into the number of MPs <br />each party would have after the election. <br /> <br />Now a non-party group, Charter 2010, has launched a website www.charter2010.co.uk to <br />promote discussion of how an indecisive election result should be handled by the party <br />leaders and politicians. Charter 2010 says a hung parliament is “the result no-one wants <br />to plan for” – and it accuses party politicians of a “conspiracy of silence” on the issue.VickyK86https://www.blogger.com/profile/05947097668152911096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-31840715793280016312010-01-04T22:29:52.798+00:002010-01-04T22:29:52.798+00:00Brown is not going to be in this position automati...Brown is not going to be in this position automatically. It might be sensible for Lib Dem, Green and Ukip voters in Lab/Con marginals to switch their support to whichever party is best-placed to stop whoever is most in danger of securing a Commons majority. In Lab seats where the Tories are within 6 points this means the Tories; in safer Lab seats, Labour need to be backed.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669097087324197724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-4493437558232163782010-01-03T20:18:08.001+00:002010-01-03T20:18:08.001+00:00Interesting read.

If he had been desperate he would have claimed the UU votes that had already taken the Whip.<br /><br />The real question, with the benefit of hindsight, is whether the Liberals would have better off with a Speakers conference and free vote.Simon Fawthrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519464855839416009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-46985717624805379702010-01-03T20:11:02.475+00:002010-01-03T20:11:02.475+00:00I've dissected the juicy bits here
