[The Echo is in Darlington, 249 miles north of London]
The Northern Echo is one of 17 dailies published by Newsquest, Gannett's U.K. newspaper division. The paper's Nigel Burton is reporting early Friday morning, local time:
Britain is heading into uncharted waters this evening with both main parties vowing to form a new Government. With just a handful of results declared so far, David Cameron's supporters have made it clear that they believe the Conservatives have triumphed. But Labour insiders say Gordon Brown will try to seal an alliance with the Lib Dems in order to cling on to power.
The Conservative Party in the UK will be the first to demonstrate what the Republican Party will experience this fall in the States: they will win in a way which will surprise party leadership. Get ready for a rough-and-tumble era of passing legislation in the US Congress since the Democrats know their days -majority status- are few in numbers.

If you want a taste for what politics in the U.S. will look like, watch the pending battle now to erupt in Great Britain over cutting entitlements and social benefits. It is going to make Greece look like a picnic.
