On train back from choir practice waiting listening to announcement about new government. Nights like tonight are historic and, as in 1997, we will remember where we were that night.
Brown acted with dignity as he has throughout the discussions, very much developing his role as statesman.
But after an expected Lib Dem surge, this sees them with the power if not the seats. But Cameron has also acted with leadership. His position will be difficult and we're not sure what the final cabinet will be.
Whatever, the markets will be happy and voters will have resolution. As I said on election night, polling days have start, middle and ends. This is now the end but really we're starting on a narrative our parents have not seen. The challenges of coalition and cuts face us. But perhaps the most important thing is - whether you like the result or not - this decision has happened peacefully and democracy has worked. For that you must be grateful.
