It’s looking like the UK is going to get one if the press can be believed, is this a good thing ore a bad thing?
Something about curtailing the power of any one party sort of appeals to me.

They're OK short term (and historically they don't usually last long).. In the long term they're a waste because nothing gets done (There's an argumant that says that's normal but there's whole bunches of mundane/routine stuff that normally gets pushed through whatever party is in power that becomes a debate when there's no overall majority

Clarification needed here, Liffy. Did you mean "a hung parliament" or "a well-hung parliament"?

still like the idea of nobody having a free run at the goal, the state of afares as it is, is just daft.
Didn’t the UK have coalition government during WW2?, didn’t that work?

The markets won't like it (no idea why it's just what I heard on R4) Probably because the big players won’t be able to give MP’s a back hander to get contracts or knighthood’s etc etc. Anybody that thinks the country is run by MP’s is deluded, it’s like suggesting Bush was in charge of the USA.
