Hung parliament? Stop the forecasting

All the prognosis from those who think they know about elections and what is the likely result, ought just stop.

I have had enough of those who say there will be a hung parliament after May 6. How do they know what the heck will happen in 4 weeks time? Have they got some insight into how non-compulsory voting will go come May 6?

The election has not even been held yet. No one has voted yet. No polling booth has opened yet. But still we have these 'pundits' who posit a hung parliament.

Well, I am sick of them all positing/forecasting a hing parliament.

BUT, should labour or conservatives not gain an overall majority of 326, then, whoopee, we will have to look at a coalition government for the country. This happens in Germany and many other European states. Australia has had coalition governments for most of the post-WWII era. Have these countries collapsed? Has democracy folded there. Have the people been up in revolution with coalition governments? NO NO NO

So, let's get real. If there is a hung, balanced, unbalanced, crazy parliament with no party having a total majority in their own right, well, let them negotiate and work with another for the good of the country. It worked in WWII under Churchill. It works well in many other mature democracies, so the UK may have to give it a go.

But let's stop all this drivel and scaremongering about a hung parliament. It's all crazy and way off the mark.

Let the electorate decide come May 6 and till then, let the polls be polls and not the final judgment of the people of Great Britain.
