Great Britain to vote, risk of political paralysis

A few hours after the vote in Great Britain, absolute uncertainty reigns since, with very high probability, neither Conservatives nor Labor will obtain the majority in Westminster to govern alone or in coalition with others - The risk is that of a minority executive with the possible return to the polls within the year.

Great Britain to vote, risk of political paralysis
The vote is just a few hours away, but in England there are already those who wrap their heads. The recurring nightmare is that of political paralysis and a coalition government. Indeed, according to surveys, the Conservatives and Labour they still travel in pairs and neither should be able to form a government on their own. 

To have the majority a Westminster at least 326 deputies are needed and, again according to the revelations, both Conservatives and Labor should be satisfied with about 270 deputies each, while the liberals led by Nick Clegg, allies of Prime Minister David Cameron, expect a vertical collapse of preferences.

A chaotic scenario, in which the presence of Scottish independence activists led by Nicola Sturgeon stands out, who should bring home about 55 MPs and who could, but here the conditional is absolutely mandatory, find an alliance with Labour, alliance not exactly well seen by everyone.

The most serious risk, as mentioned, is that of political paralysis, with the possibility, feared by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, of a return to the polls "already by Christmas". In any case, what is most striking, looking at Great Britain, is the change in a society which has always been supported by a clear division into two precise blocks, two factions which, however, are no longer able to represent the majority of the population.
