Labour have been returned to power but with a much lower majority. Let’s just hope that this will allow the other parties to stifle a move to a federal Europe (which I am still convinced will not be good for the UK as a whole), although the Lib Dems have increased the number of seat they have and this as a key policy for them, so only time will tell.

My own constituency of Braintree has moved from a Labour marginal majority of 358 to a Conservative majority of 3,893. This puts Essex Man (as the media dubbed him) firmly back as a darling of the Conservative party.

In case you haven’t seen it, by the way, it is well worth watching George Galloway vs. Jeremy Paxman over on the BBC website. A full transcript of which is available here. Paxman starts off badly and it just gets worse…watch it.
