Power sharing is very rare in the UK. What is more common is a party with a large majority with lots of infighting between factions of their party

Not usual, but two out of the last 20 governments is not what I would call very rare.

its more likely than it has been in a very long time with multiple smaller parties gaining seats. Nationalists in Scotland and Wales have been around a whole, and NI always had its own parties, but on top of that we now have Reform and the Greens making gains.

  • Fair - "very rare" was a little over the top. I'm sure we can agree on "uncommon" :)

    Are you predicting a minority government in the next election? Time will tell!
