The last time there was a hung Parliament I was studying for O Levels. The result was so close that the outdome was not clear until the Friday morning following the February 1974 General Election. Our history teacher, a Labour supporter, brought a radio in so we could be part of the unfolding saga which saw Harold Wilson presiding over a minority Government.
The same might be true this time round when the votes are finally counted and I suppose the forecasts are an overwhelming relief given the dire predictions of a Tory landslide just 12 months ago.
Back in 1974, the result was so close of course that another General Election was held in the October. It is going to be an interesting night......
