Wales has been reasonably unsurprising, except for UKIP getting 7 seats on the regional list.

Labour got 29 seats, 3 short of an outright majority.

Plaid Cymru got 12, including a surprising constituency win for leader Leanne Wood in the Rhondda (ousting perennial feckwit Leighton Andrews)

The Conservatives got 11, which was disappointing for them

As mentioned, UKIP got 7 members, all on the regional list. These include parachutists Mark Reckless and Neil "Pay me in brown envelopes" Hamilton, both of which were forced on to welsh UKIP by their leaders, and ironically took the jobs of hard working, local nutters.

The Lib dems held on to one solitary seat for the leader, Kirsty Williams, in Brecon and Radnor.

Possibilities are:

Labour asks Kirsty Williams very nicely if she'll be presiding officer, and then go for a minority government

Labour does a formal deal with Plaid

All the other parties club together and govern as a coalition, but that's as likely as flying bacon
