That sketch is pretty analogous to what happened last night - there was at least one appearance by the Raving Monster Loony party. And I turned on the website coverage this morning to find the whole thing was still going! David Dimbleby must be an android. Nobody can win now - Labour has lost a huge number of seats (and totally deserved to), but it turns out that not everyone likes the Conservatives enough yet to put them into outright power.
The country is a lot more colourful than America :) At its peak, the main results on the BBC live feed showed five parties as close, but they then dropped off into the usual three. Northern Ireland is in an awkward situation... it's been going on too long for me to even know why the split even exists, now. Sinn Fein MPs tend to refuse to accept their seats in Parliament, but I don't know where the DUP stand on that.
