The Conservatives' lead in opinion polls is too narrow to guarantee an outright victory, and that might allow the Labour government to hang on by the skin of its teeth (Britain's electoral system favors incumbents), or it could result in a hung parliament, with Liberal Democrats and other smaller parties holding the balance of power...

The earth will be saved...
