Where polling places opened up around an hour ago... Best of luck.
There is absolutely no chance of you getting a decent government out of today... but maybe, if you're luck and sensible, you'll get a better one than you've got.
From where I'm sitting, it looks like a hung parliament with a strong conservative plurality... And god help you, you could have a coalition government with libdems and tories... wouldn't that be fun (for certain definitions of the word "fun").
I have to say, Cameron and the conservatives are no prize... about as bad as the worst of our Republicans, without many of the redeeming qualities... But they pretty much have to be better... only by default... than Brown and Labour.
Britain is careening headlong down a long and steep slope. She's been accelerating for years under Labour, maybe a new government can at least slow her down a bit...
Of course, that's better than our situation... We're cruising along on a slight downhill... But instead of a steep grade, there's a gigantic cliff we're about ready to drop off; and it seems our current government wants to go faster...
