Post election night

It is a hung parliament! That means that no party has a clear majority, so someone has to make a coalition (possibly Labour and Liberal Democrats?) or the Conservatives can try to have a minority government. What!? All of the constituencies haven't reported back yet, but even when they do, it does not look like any of the parties will have the majority (which means they have attained 326 seats). If you are interested in keeping up with the action, you can check here at the BBC.

Either way, an awesome bit of history was made with the election of the first Green Party MP, Caroline Lucas - she was elected in Brighton, this awesome hippy beach town.

All of the campaigning Ellie and I did in the end did not amount to much. The conservatives won in the Ealing Central and Acton constituency! :( The Lib Dems came 3rd, although it was kind of close. We even had a sign in our yard:



It is a sad day here in Ealing. But I am excited to see what happens with this hung parliament business. It is different than the United States. I mean, the Queen calls for the parties to form a government! Amazing!
