People Who Are Being Very Quiet (for Now)
IAIN MARTIN HOME PAGE »
By Iain Martin
1) Boris Johnson: Noted opponent of proportional representation and Lib-Dem skeptic who aspires to succeed David Cameron as Conservative leader. Rarely quiet for long.
2) Tory MPs and Peers: Stunned, most of them are at home watching the news channels on television with their mouths open.
3) Ed Balls and David Miliband: Both readying their Labour leadership campaigns.
4) Barack Obama: The British election may be of minor significance to a U.S. president who puts Britain roughly on a global par with New Zealand, but even he must be wondering who he should ring with his congratulations.
5) David Dimbleby: After 16 hours on screen on election night, the 71-year-old veteran presenter is asleep and expected to wake sometime Thursday.
