Post-election dissection: Simon Jenkins, Margaret Hodge, Jesse Norman, Alice Thomson

Oh heavens, what a choice. Whoever you root for this general election, will you find your vote casually propping someone else up? Vote Ukip and get Labour, says David Cameron, vote Labour and get the Scottish Nationalists, vote SNP and lock the tories out of parliament and (also) get Labour - so it goes on. Ironically, considering how little your vote might count, the surge of interest in smaller parties such as Ukip and Labour has made this the most exciting and unpredictable general election anyone can remember.

Whatever the result on May 7th, the implications for British politics will be huge.

They will be unpicking the implications for the future of British politics.
General Election questions
Is it fair, for example, that a load of Scots who want to leave the Union should have so much sway over the rest of the country? Will a break-up of the Union be inevitable? How long will any minority government, reliant on querulous smaller parties, be able to survive? Is this the death rattle of the two-party political system we can hear? And if so, do we need fundamental reform of our electoral system?
