You mean 38% of the some 54% that actually voted.
Given the apathy and the piss-poor standing of our political system (Conservatives included), I don't think the outrage is going to be that great. This forum certainly isn't a representative cross-section.
It's really not that big of a deal. Coalitions are a normal tactic in parliamentary democracies.
I would rather go with the status quo, but there seems to be a huge overreaction over this... Especially the idea that they will run the west into the ground. What's that all about?
