Politics (and other political stuff)
Minority governments are not unheard of within UK politics. Labour briefly governed the country with a minority government in 1974 after winning the General Election in the February of that year. It lasted all of seven months before the public were asked to cast their votes in another General Election held in October. In Scotland, the SNP governed with a minority between 2007 and 2011 - narrowly beating Labour by one seat: 47 to 46.
For the 2015 General Election, I think it will be another hung parliament with Labour narrowly winning. If Labour lose seats to the SNP in Scotland (and if SNP gain seats from the LibDems), the SNP might find itself in the position of 'Kingmaker'. Despite gains in Clacton and Rochester & Strood, I don't think UKIP will gain many more seats than they currently have unless more Tory MPs decide to defect. I also think that this General Election will bear witness to the near death of the Liberal Democrats. The Greens will probably keep their seat in Brighton but I don't think they'll make gains anywhere else.
It'll be Labour propped up by the SNP and the rest (except UKIP) in my opinion.
