Morning,
As things stand some 36 hours after the last but one seat was declared we are no nearer to seeing what hue of government the British population are going to have next.
Both Clegg and Cameron spoke face to face to each other at Admiralty House last night - minutes after Chairman Brown spoke to the Lib Dem leader - Brown seems to be feeling a bit left out of the fun and games.
However, Labour sources continue to plug the possibility of a so-called Rainbow Coalition, if Clegg is not able to come up with a viable plan of action with Mr Cameron.
So who and what would the Rainbow Coalition consist of?
Apart from the obvious, the SNP and Plaid Cymru would be possible kingmakers of any potential PM of the coalition. It is said that members of the SDLP and the solitary Alliance MP of Northern Ireland would take the whips of Labour and the Lib Dems respectively due to both parties links.
Also being mentioned is the Greens solitary MP, Caroline Lucas and again from Northern Ireland, Lady Sylvia Hermon, who walked out of the Ulster Unionists earlier this year, because of the re-establishment of links with the Tories.
Now, this seems all good.
But, with assemblies and parliaments already formed in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - and Labour being a extremely poor second in England - my fear is that this could cause the break up of the Union, because make no mistake, the English electorate voted in remarkable contrast to the Celtic nations because of the total dominance of the Scots and the Welsh in power.
Be very careful what you wish for...
