yes

If we do get a hung parliament, we'll find out the true mettle of the LibDems. Will they take the opportunity to support a referendum on electoral reform? Let's hope so.

yes

Obviously, I do not have a crystal ball but there are many potential variations in voting behaviour according to current signs, in addition to the Tories lack of firm coherent policies

Unless it consists of LabConLib parliamentarians as they have sold out Britain to the EU, and they all deserve to hang.

I hope we get a hung parliament if only to save the hunting ban & stop a £2 billion giveaway to 3,000 super rich.

if the Tories win the next election, then yes, i can easily imagine many Parliamentarians will eventually (and not too far into the term) be hung...

The Tories have a mountain to climb to win even a bare majority at the next election - they would need a swing of 6.5% ( something they have never achieved in modern times ) and would need to be win some very un-Tory sounding seats such as Tynemouth, Barrow & Furness and Stockton South to name just a few - doesn't seem likely.
