Alastair Campbell tells Adam Boulton what he thinks.
You have to watch this until about half way through. Hilarious.

speaking of which,
YouTube- Kay Burley bullies a protester in the name of "journalism"
'Fair and balanced' reporting from Kay Burley.
That is shocking. I might complain.

One commentator on the BBC yesterday was saying that if the political parties can not form a stable government the Queen can make the decision. It would have to be very extreme circumsatnces - such as the whole place going to economic ruin (which it is anyway but not as bad as Greece).
The Queen does have these powers. She approves the new PM each time and in theory could say something different. However, the House of Commons has the power to vote and abolish the Monarchy if it wanted. It's one of many arrangements that keeps the UK a very stable place. The constitution isn't written down but is formed from a patchwork of overlapping laws and precedents.
Does the government tread carefully with the Queen because she has the army on her side? When you join the army you pledge allegiance to the Queen and the country - not the politicians.

The incumbent party have the first chance. That's how it is apparently.
There is a lot of talk about moral rights now which gets interesting.
They have also been talking on the Beeb about the Queens part. In very extreme circumstances she can choose who wins! Probably only if the whole country was falling apart due to the deadlock.

Whoever put it together failed to put in an effective hysteresis sub routine, so when tracked to Jeremy V (in reality the camera output data) it doesn't know what to do with non integer values = jittery, flickery, wobbly shit.Coming from an award winning motion graphics artist who doesn't even do motion graphics - I believe you.
