And with that 2am declaration, the General Election result is sealed. Thank goodness that's over - there's nothing thrilling about a patently one-sided campaign. Sometimes a government's time runs out and the tide of change is unstoppable. The result's been a foregone conclusion for well over a year, the only points of interest being how thumping the final majority might be and which ministers might look the most distraught on losing their seat. I think those tears were genuine, don't you? So that's the political pendulum swung firmly back to the right for the first time this century, even if a mountain of debt means there's very little scope for political manoeuvre. But I think we can be certain that ID cards are dead, proportional representation remains out for the count, and fox-hunting will be back in the countryside by Christmas. More importantly, I've finally got rid of that egotistical blabbermouth waster as my MP. A blue dawn is rising. Can I go to sleep now?
