It looks like a draw between The Big Two,so how does it work on Friday Let,s say The Tories have 280 seats but Labour 285 can Miliband with just five more seats force Cameron out ? What options are on the table ? :facepalm:

The Tories are still officially in government (in coalition with the LibDems).
Their first (and second, and third) instinct will be to hang on to power at any cost so there is every prospect that there will be no change.

Bear in mind though that none of the SNP, DUP, PC etc will align with Cameron so he is going to be hoping that his natural "props" UKIP do well and that the LibDems are not obliterated entirely as some are predicting

But wouldn't the LibDems jump ship if Labour have more seats ? Cameron wouldn't be able to get a Queens speech through with only the DUP and UKIP to prop him up.

Whoever can form a government, does essentially. The Conservatives won last time and they formed a government with the Lib Dems obviously. Whoever gets most seats this time will try to form a government if they do not have a majority. If they cannot, someone else will have a go. If no-one can form a government, or the created government collapses in the commons, you will have to go through this entire tedium all over again.

The three main parties each send there big hitters to Wembley, where they sit in the centre circle and play the biscuit game. My money is on William Hague producing the goods first ahead of a frankly overweight challenge from John Prescott. Nick Clegg likely to just be watching, purring gently.
