General Election VI

Well what a funny old night. Undoubted highlight: Vince Cable and Ed Balls both out of the House. Those who live by the sword indeed.

What to do about Scotland where the voters are now behaving as the English have learned to do in European elections, that is to vote for the party that doesn't believe in the institution to which they are sending representatives?

What to do about the electoral system, wherein UKIP can win four million votes (hugely outstripping the eviscerated LibDems) but only one seat?

The Conservatives have a scant majority and we will thereby live in interesting times - not always a curse. We will also live in a country where, when push came to shove, most people simply could not imagine Ed Miliband as PM.

A complaint about the timbre of the media coverage - in particular could the BBC please get rid of that smug twerp Andrew Neil, or at the very least compel him to drop the laughable comb-over.

Finally a thought (not mine) that I was saving up for the advent of a  Miliband led coalition:
Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard - the men who live by force, yet count on those that live by trade to create the value of their looted money - the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue.
Hitchhikers of virtue - I love that.
