We"ve had the election but the next PM is to be decided by a 3 (possibly 4) independent candidates!
Maybe it's just me but it does strike me as a bit wrong that we can have a system that allows for a draw, especially when we have the (rather idiotic) preferential voting system we have.
Voting here is compulsory but apparently pretty useless if the result is close.

Personally, I hope we have to return to the polls because I don't think the independent "King Makers" are going to be impartial & it seems that the power may be slightly going to their heads.
Last thing we need is minority government controlled by a few disgruntled former party members that are even now trying in small ways to dictate foreign policy before promising their vote.
I thought that was what the election was for in the first place.
