We actually want a hung parliament

By nota

Definition: Control of the British Parliament – and therefore the right to form the Government – requires that a party wins a majority of seats in the House of Commons in a General Election. With three main parties and an increasing number of independents, it is possible that no single party will do so. This is known as a hung parliament.

Darn it.  I thought that it was when the public took the politicians out and hung them from the nearest tree.
