With the UK general election happening this week, democracy gets opportunity to curtail the taint destructive politicians have left on the world stage. I thought it might be interesting to deliver a round-up of what some British cartoonists have been saying on the matter.

The UK election results of 2010 has left the UK without any Government in any way. The UK election end result was a hung parliament. What that means is that not one party running acquired a considerable enough amount of votes to become elected. Even though one party did obtain one of the most votes, it was not high enough compared to that party's competition. There has not been a hung parliament since 1974. In 1974 it took 8 months for that country to resolve the issue, so now individuals fear that they could go quite a while without a leading Government.
