Yes, the Tories and Lib Dems will be hated more than Thatcher because of the cuts they'll have to make.

So they kept near majority of seats, crackingly good result considering the tulip they did - now they buggered off and left tough cuts to be made by Cameron only to return to power after 5 years.

Good job Lord Mandelson, well done that chap.

ConLibs will be lucky to last a year.

Labour have 258 seats, vs 306 of Cons - a swing of just 25 seats will give more MPs to Liebor over Cons, and they just need swing of 70 seats to get majority.

That's pretty damn near majority - after that tulip Liebor did to economy they should have had 0 seats in Parliament and 258 seats in the Tower!

Rumour is a guaranteed fixed-term parliament. Whether that's by agreement or by legislation (or even genuine) remains to be seen.

It will last, the tories will not rush through the libs demands, they will force support over a number of years.

New Labour is the real winner here
