The Aftermath after the Ballot

The crosses have been counted and not a winner, as I said in my last blog in April, there is the subject of power with a capital P and not one of the parties got it from the electorate. This type of result proves to me that the people will not give the leaders or their parties a mandate to run a country after the money grabbing expenses scandal, and have put them in the position to work it out together and come up with a deal that we like, if we don't we will send you back to do it all again until we are satisfied that we can trust you again.

Scotland
Scotland voted in 59 constituencies and not one seat has a new bum in it, how amazing was that,Scotland voted exactly the same as they did 5 yrs ago with England swinging all over the place between parties by up to 10% . My own opinion is because we already have a Government of our own that is run without a majority and we have a lot of benefits that England does not have. The first legislation that the Scottish Government introduced was to freeze the Community Tax, brought in the smoking ban, that the rest of the UK followed suit, stopping the prescription charges where they are nearly all but free, there has been a few other benefits and yet the SNP never really get a look in when it comes to London elections.
You have to ask how can London be run by the Tory/Lib Dem coalition and in Scotland be predominately Labour and work with a Scottish Government run by a SNP administration, talk about fireworks!

This soap opera has a few episodes to run before there is a satisfactory finish.
