man the barricades

it has been suggested that if the conservatives do not have big enough majority gordon brown could remain as prime minister . which would mean an unelected prime minister leading a government that was in a minority and hanging on by a mathematical quirk and the conivance of the of civil servants at whitehall ,the party with the biggest number of votes must prevail other wise every decent citizen must protest . for the first time since the 17th century it will be a moment to stand up for democracy and man the barricades, political trickery should not be allowed to wreck the u'k no matter what party it comes from
