London just takes forever to count elections full stop.  (This is not a dig at Tower Hamlets, this is a dig at every London borough.)

The Tory right making hints that they want some kind of Tory-UKIP pact are the same people who were most against AV. Funny.

that is exactly the reason that australia introduced AV/IRV, to prevent Labour winning on a split Liberal/National vote(r were they Nationalist and Country Party back then?)

not to mention that they'd e by far the largest party in the group, with over a quarter of the total green seats, you think Danny Cohn-Bendit and the rest of the french and german greens are going to allow that?

It didn't last long. Now that the UKIP is doing its coming out on immigration, they could consider joining the PVV-FN-FPO-LN-etc.

Oh, go on, tell us. It's intriguing.

Once it's published I can share it.

have they not explicitly ruled out working with almost al of the non-inscrit nationalists?

they'd be more likely to try to save the EFD group than start a new one, but the parties that might join them from the right may drive off m5s, and I don't expect that they could tempt anyone back from ECR
