Have WE won the election?
If Cameron can keep his nerve, realise he's in the strongest position, tell the crustier members of his party to shut the fuck up and give Cleggy a good hard stare over the top of his playing cards ..
And if Clegg can ignore the more outlandish elements of his party, admit to himself that he's fucked up, that the Lib Dems are a long way from a real 3rd party at the moment, and gratefully grab a hold of a couple of of concessions and a couple of positions in the inner circle ...
And if Brown can be kept well out of it, left to moulder in Downing Street for a few more days, like a one-eyed Miss Haversham, while his spinning acolytes jog from TV studio to radio studio to newspaper offices ...
...then it could be that we'll get a government with an effective working majority - on a confidence and supply basis - and no silly coalition promises.
A government that puts aside partisanship, rolls up its sleeves and starts to clear up the enormous fucking mess that Broon and his acolytes have bequeathed us.
In which case we, the public, the voters, are the only winners. And isn't that what democracy's for?
