Calling it a night

Not bad. Could have been far worse.
Blair's heading back to Downing St... but not in jubilation. He'll lose nearly a hundred seats, and won't be able to rule by decree any more; from tomorrow onwards we'll have real government again, with the Labour 'awkward squad' of 50-60 MPs frequently voting against his policies. He'll get far less of what he wants done, will not leave the lasting legacy he desperately wants, and is unlikely to serve out a full term - probably handing over to Gordon Brown within two years.
And the Conservatives are back - as a true political force. Welcome back, blues.
So now, at somewhat after 3am, I'm heading for bed.
