This is one of our most frequent questions today, and one that now does have an answer, albeit somewhat disappointing. Nobody. Officially we have a hung parliament as no single party can get a majority.
As expected the Conservatives have gained, and Labour has lost seats. An unexpected turn of events, if you were to believe the Clegg mania of recent weeks, is that the Lib Dems have fared poorly and look set to lose seats overall compared to their results in the 2005 UK general election.
So what does this mean? A fair amount of negotiation over the next few days to see if parties can join together to create a majority. It seems we’ll have to wait some while before we have a real ‘result’.
In the meantime, what we can share with you, is some of of the funniest, quirkiest, most popular and plain weirdest questions, 63336 buzzes and tweets from around the UK last night and this morning.

To start off with, here’s an interesting political question texted to 63336 yesterday:
Q. Which country has the most cabinet members with moustaches?
