Hope is a very annoying word and I won't be using it again...
And the winner is... none of the above and certainly not us. If it's a Lib/Tory coalition Labour voters disenfranchised; if it's a Lib/Lab coalition Tory voters are (plus that would be obscene); and as LibDem voter I feel utterly disenfranchised. No one voted for this. The country needs strong leadership and is going to get muddled mixed message leadership and financially we're going to be in more of a mess then we would have been with an outright winner. What's clear is that the electoral system is in desperate need of reform. Tories are at least talking about it, but can they - will they? - deliver.
The good news is Nick Griffin didn't get in. Hurrah, hurrah. And all the BNP councillors in Barking & Dagenham lost their seats.
Oh and that nutty evangelical Tory in Sutton & Cheam also failed to oust the sitting MP.
And Jacqui Smith lost her seat. So not ALL bad...
Question is, how long can Gordy keep pretending he's still our PM. And will they have to pull him physically from no 10, shouting It's ME they want. You know it makes sense....?
I optimistically told no 1 she'd be old enough to vote next time, but I think we might going to the polls again, rather sooner then that...

Election was a MESS: I really cannot imagine any LibDem voters wanted this.
Cameron may try and claim he can offer headway on electoral reform from his party for the LDs but I'd be astonished if he delivers. the Tories generally have proven themselves single-mindedly unenthused to downright antagonistic to changing FPTP.
The LDs will get shafted either way.
I'm just waiting for how Sarah Brown manages to entice Gordy out of the house. She may have to leave a trail of something out to the removals van and slam the door on him before he realises...
He will be prised unwillingly from the door, leaving fingernail trails behind. BONKERS that he can't admit defeat. As a Lib Dem voter don't think I'll be happy with a Lib/Lab pact either. I think electoral reform needed but we also do need someone to take charge of the economy in the short term. As a compromise if a Tory/LibDem pact can deliver that has to be in the national interest. But am not hopeful(-:
