Oh Jeez. It is not comparable Robert Mugabe. Some of the hyperbole people use in this country is ridiculous, I heard people on Radio 4/5 comparing the trouble people had voting to a 3rd world country where we would send UN Inspectors in
Such comparisons do us a disservice because all it does it further enrage people on an already sensitive topic as well as being a vast exaggeration.
The Tories should from the next government. However there is nothing legally wrong with what Labour are doing, this is the result of our electoral system.
I think it helps if we accept that people didn't win or lose the election but that one party won more seats than another. It feels like a game rather than a democracy the way people seem to behave, that it's winner take all if they got the highest score.
