Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world, on the internet, by webcast

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

Well, all the excitement of the British general election is over and now we have the aftermath

and the posters were proved completely wrong in the election and the conservative party got

in, doesn't have to be in coalition anymore and the three main opposing parties, I guess

you could call them Labour, the Liberal Democrats and you Kipp, that new force in British

politics, their leaders have all quit and we're moving into a whole new era.

What does that say to us and why am I saying this to you now?

It proves that no matter how certain you may be about the way things may go, you may well

be wrong.

Everybody was sure that there would be what we call in the United Kingdom a hung parliament

where no one party would have a majority and deals would have to be done to get a government

together and in the end that didn't happen very definitively.

What a strange period this has been but what also an exhausting period for a lot of us have

been so I'm a little behind on things here at the unexplained so there won't be any shoutouts

on this edition.

I've got hundreds of emails to collate and I always make little notes on them when I do

the shoutouts so I need to do that so we'll do that on the next edition when I've caught

up with life for the world and everything which I will have done hopefully in a week

or so.

Thank you very much for all of the emails, the nice things, the guest suggestions and

the donations.
