I didn't make this...

"On May Day '97
The Tory junta fell -
A great night for the people!
And the morning after - hmm, well..."
~ Robb Johnson, Not A Bad Week for the People

Which is why the fact it's such a close-run race (and may result in the HUNG PARLIAMENT OF DOOM) qualifies as a vaguely optimistic state of affairs... Went and voted. Had been considering a tactical vote for the Liberal Democrats, but personal conscience and principle and having clocked up over a decade in the Socialist Party won out, so my cross was scrawled firmly beside the candidate for the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (a.k.a. my mate Steve).

C'mon, then. Hung parliament? Bring it on, you bastards. Has to be better than going back to the dark days of Tory majority:

I agree. I think it's amazing that despite how long Labour have been in and how unpopular they, and particularly Brown are, the Tories STILL aren't a shoe in! Even the FT which is an amoral capitalist paper was saying that the "voters aren't sure if the Tories have changed", so even the FT admits that most people would pretty much need to be tricked into voting for them! I mean, they probably are going to get in, but I'm consoling myself by thinking of the cock-up and consequent PR distaster they're going to make out of it.
