It's completely loathsome the way the Conservatives and right-wing media are scaremongering this. Particularly given that they are actually having the cheek to advise tactical voting to avoid it happening when the reason people want to see a hung parliament is to see electoral reform and with a different electoral system this, er, wouldn't happen.

The base fact that no one seems to be saying (and I've been watching a lot of news programmes) is that in popular terms we are now a three-party country, and FPTP bipartianism doesn't work for a three party country. Surely this is childsplay to understand? I can only assume that, like the Media Giants whose pockets the Big Two reside, they've decided to stick their heads in the sand and try to stop the tide from coming in.
