winterbadgerDifferent views apparent in the UK press as the day comes to a close:
The Scotsman has already concluded "Liberal Democrats to hand power to David Cameron"
But the article makes clear that the results aren't quite that certain yet.
A Times analyst concludes that a Tory minority government is still the most likely outcome
The Mail sees Tories and LibDems inching closer to a deal
while the Torygraph isn't quite so sure just citing "positive and productive" quote from the two sides, which is politicianspeak for "we have nothing substantive to say"
which is about what the BBC seems to have heard
The Guardian says that talks are breaking up, but it turns out they just mean for the evening...
The Independent covers all the bases by noting that Clegg is being urged by his party to break off talks with Cameron over Tory refusal to budge on PR as it assures us that Brown battles on and asks Cameron how and why he failed so signally to win outright, given all the factors in his favour.
All in all, the news seems to be "no news" for now.
