The British constitution is largely unwritten. There is no law that says the Prime Minister has to come from the largest party or that the government of the day must retain the confidence of the House to continue in office. It is just custom that these things should be a part of how the British government works.

It’s interesting watching the coverage and knowing there’s so many similiarities between the US and the UK, but so many differences as well.
I don’t know why in 2010 they still count ballots by hand. If they had computerized voting they’d been done hours ago.
But I do like the way all the candidates stand together when the result is announced. That’d be a cool thing to see here.
