The only thing I'm going to say about the election

There has obviously been a lot of talk abou the fact that Labour has been returned to power for a record third consecutive term, and much of it has been about how their majority has been reduced significantly. The government now has a 67 seat majority which is down 45 from the last term. So much have people been used to New Labour holding power by such large majorities, that people are now suggesting that Tony Blair has something to be concerned about, and that it is the start of New Labour's decline. It's worthwhile pointing out that there have only been three parliaments in the past with higher majorities that Labour's current 67 seats; two of those have been Labour's last two terms, and the other belonging to Thatcher's government from the 1983 election.
A large reason for Labour's loss of seats this time has been the public backlash to the invasion of Iraq, and a growing general dislike for the Prime Minister. By the time the next general election is upon us, it is unlikely Blair will still be PM, Iraq will not be an issue any more, and Labour will probably win again. Unless......

I would also like to say that in a nation where there are three major political parties; Britain must use the preferential voting system that is used in Australia to elect individual seats. This would provide an outcome that is much more indicative of the public's wishes.
