Its time to talk about a Hung Parliament

New website campaign calls for four-year

fixed term government to deal with a hung parliament

For the first time in over 30 years, there is a strong possibility that a General Election will

result in no party having overall charge of Parliament. At the same time the grave

continuing economic and fiscal crisis will be the major issue facing our government.

Around half of recent opinion polls put a hung parliament as a possible election result - if

current voting intentions, as given to the pollsters, are translated into the number of MPs

each party would have after the election.

Now a non-party group, Charter 2010, has launched a website www.charter2010.co.uk to

promote discussion of how an indecisive election result should be handled by the party

leaders and politicians. Charter 2010 says a hung parliament is “the result no-one wants

to plan for” – and it accuses party politicians of a “conspiracy of silence” on the issue.

Hung Parliament 2010

The UK is in the midst of a deep financial and economic crisis. We also face a General Election within a matter of months. At the same time disillusionment with MPs and politics has never been higher - and trust in the working of the banking and financial system has never been lower.

I have found a great new website where you can discuss the possibilty of a Hung Parliament and find lots of answers to interesting questions, its www.charter2010.co.uk
