Maybe, just maybe ....

"David Cameron delivered his strongest warning yet on the perils of a hung Parliament yesterday and accused Nick Clegg of trying to 'hold the country to ransom'.
The Tories said the haggling and uncertainty if no party wins a clear victory on May 6 would bring the economy to its knees and send interest rates soaring."


Well, maybe, just maybe, a hung Parliament is precisely what this country does need.
Although I fully accept David Cameron's argument, there are bigger fish here in need of finding a deep fat frier.
The ONE - and I really do mean SINGULAR - thing that the Liberal Democrats might do in such situation is to demand electoral reform - and with that, PR.
Sadly the STV system they have advocated is designed to be only one step better than an FPTP system which ensures that the rule of the major parties still could not easily be challenged.
Better than nothing - it would not readily open the way to a root and branch removal of the LibLabCon which this country so desperately requires.
