1. Quick, send in Sandra Day-O'Connor to do a "one time only" fix.

Then wonder why the Supreme Court has lost respect.

4. I trust Liz's judgement more than Sandra's....nt

2. I was thinking of that when I heard it was close. I wonder how they'll resolve

it if there's a question.

3. Liz has imposed a 'cooling off' period of several hours before she meets with 'winner'

What the Queen does next is now a delicate matter. She theoretically has the power to exercise her own judgment as to who is most likely to be able to cobble together a coalition, and could invited either Mr. Brown or Tory leader David Cameron to do so. But that would be an unusual political intervention in a country whose traditions have left the reigning monarch as the head of state, but whose actions almost always are rubber stamps of the wills of voters and their elected representatives.

THE TELEGRAPH SAYS LIZ WILL MAKE THEM COOL THEIR HEELS UNTIL THE AFTERNOON...

QEII: Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, young man!

Such is the fear that an indecisive result in today’s election could lead to a party leader attempting to push his case that a “cooling off” period has effectively been imposed.

5. That's a ridiculous comparison...

The vote results are clear and uncontested. The only unresolved issue is whether Cameron or Brown can cobble together a Government with minority party support.
