The Next British Invasion
Today's British general elections promise to be interesting since instead of the usual "big two" parties of Labour and Conservative, there is a third major player in the game. Liberal Democrats have become a factor in these elections, to the point that we might be looking at the first hung parliament since the general elections of February 1974.
While on the surface, this election doesn't directly affect the United States, except maybe with a hung parliament in terms of economics and foreign policy. No, the bigger factor is how the Liberal Democrats do in this election. With the recent move by Charlie Crist to run as an independent candidate in the Florida senate election and the "Tea Party" seeming to cause a fracture in the Republican Party, a good showing by the Liberal Democrats might give things the push they need.
