It's certainly an uncertain outcome, for sure. Gordon Brown is putting out
confident sounds, but a hung parliament with the Tories as the largest
single party with the Liberal-Democrats or - God help us - the various
Ulster Unionist parties - as power brokers seems likely but there are an
awful lot of marginal seats, especially from London, still as I write, Live
on Google UK, 4.53 hrs local time, to come. Cons 212 Lab 153 Lib-Dem 33
Others 25 and Morley & Outwood Labour Hold (incl. Ed Balls) just in.
