An unusually closely fought election has seen no UK party with an overall majority, and as we speak discussions are starting between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative Party on whether they can reach a deal. My view all along has been that the Conservatives lacked credibility in a number of areas. I am skeptical that they can reach a deal with the Lib Dems, paving the way to a possible Lib Dem and Labour coalition. I think this could be a good result for the country, leading to political reform, and hopefully the best of both parties policies. The idea of the Conservatives going it alone with a minority Government, just doesn’t appeal, and I would expect there to be be another election before too long if that was the case. We will have to watch and see the result of the negotiations over the weekend.
