electoral reform
Cannot see that happening in the next 5 years, neither Labour or the Conservatives want it, and one of them will be the major party in whatever coalition we get. They can also point to the referendum a few years ago, which was a fairly resounding no, and continue to ignore the issue on that basis.

Things that will probably happen as a result of this election:
It seems to me that either or both of the first two will make Britain weaker and its people poorer. The last one might be good, or it could be a recipe for weak and innefectual government. It's bizarre to think how much will probably change over the next few years; maybe the end of an era that started in 1945. I'm probably being a Cassandra, but I can't help thinking a lot of us might look back and ask if things were really that bad.
