Waiting game

The events of last night were probably best summed up by the un-named defeated Welsh Assembly candidate who when asked about the seeming polarisation of voting trends replied that it was “more like bi-polar”. You can understand his viewpoint based on the utcomes of a contest more notable so far for its significant losses than anything else.

The changes in numbers and personalities however make the dynamics of coalition a lot more intriguing. No doubt the phones are already ringing – even before the outstanding regional and North Wales declarations.

Update (14:00): No overall majprity for Labour. Would the Lib Dems make more acquiescent 'partners' or are Plaid ready to drink again from the poisoned chalice?
