Did Labour's Demise result in a Hung Parliament?
"For the first time in 36 years, a general election resulted in no overall majority and a battle to see which leader could form a government. Was the demise of Labour inevitable? Did Gordon Brown lose an election that Labour might have won had he departed sooner? Was a Lib-Lab coalition ever thought to be a likelihood? How effective is the Lib-Con coalition after five months, and will it hold together for five years? What are the implications for Britain?
These questions will be discussed by Polly Toynbee, the Guardian columnist and writer (The Verdict; Did Labour Change Britain?), Steve Richards, TV presenter and chief political columnist for The Independent (Whatever it Takes; The Inside Story of GB and New Labour), and Peter Hennessy, English historian of government, award winning author and journalist.
