13. She can't seem to make her mind up
Today she's been saying the opposite, that the British public didn't vote for a hung parliament. A hung parliament wasn't on the ballot, it is simply the result of the way the votes went. I've seen her say it to 2 different Labour politicians so far.

As I mentioned in the UK forum, if overall percentages equated to seats, the Conservatives would have 235, Labour 191 and Lib Dems 149 seats. This is a fairer representation of how the British electorate voted and means that the Tories or the Labour party could have had a majority government in coalition with the Lib Dems without the need of the smaller parties.

I wouldn't know about her overall reporting as I'm only watching Sky because it's the only channel that's going with this 24/7 where I live. Normally I watch Al Jazeera English, BBC World or CNN International.
