Well, we've got a lot of political parties here and we mostly have three or four of them in the goverment. Try to get along in that situation!

So two parties isn't that bad at all. More to talk over for them and to worry for you

A hung parliament would not harm the UK economy - and could even save it from the "lunacy" of early spending cuts, a leading economist has said.

David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, said it was "nonsense" to suggest that markets would be hit by the predicted result.

And rather than being weak, a coalition government, if formed, could deliver fiscal stability and block "idiotic" policies that would hamper the economic recovery, the Ivy League economics professor said.

His views are in contrast with those in the City who claim a hung parliament would mean fiscal indecision and lead to action from credit rating agencies.

One market-watcher went as far as saying that the predicted result represented a "dreadful" night for the economy, as it would lead to a downgrading of the UK's triple-A bond rating and interest rate rises.

But Mr Blanchflower, economics professor at Dartmouth College in the US, hit out at such suggestions.

"It is absolute nonsense, complete nonsense. They are talking nonsense."

He continued: "I do not think there is any evidence that the market thinks a hung parliament is a bad idea. The markets have had six to eight weeks to deal with this and the gilt markets have been fine, there is no chance of the triple-A rating changing, the currency has held."

The economist added: "The market will respond to a surprise. If it was a surprise we would have seen a response from the market."

Warnings of credit rating agencies downgrading UK debt as a result of a hung parliament were unfounded, Mr Blanchflower said, noting that a majority of triple-A rated countries have coalition governments. Moreover, a coalition could prevent an "idiotic" Tory cut in 2010, he added.
