The election deal making could take a while to sort itself out, it's reported other hung parliament situations take 2 weeks for decisions to be made. Luckily political satire still exists, supplying a nice amount of humour to keep any 24 hour news junkies sane.

Here are three I found, post your finds in the comment section.

-Malcolm Tucker Emails. http://tinyurl.com/2v4j7a7
The swearsome director of communications from The Thick Of It Series supplied advice throughout the election in the Guardian and on Friday the last article appeared online along with the statement "Malcolm Tucker is a former No 10 head of communications. Jesse Armstrong hacked his email.".
Contains great wording like,

"Clegg doesn't know whether to shit or have a haircut. And I sense it is time for us to step aside. The truth is, mate, our time has passed. The dusk is gloaming."

"interpret this and uniquely divine in it a message that says in some overwhelming way that everything should end up with you getting to kiss the Queen's furry cup of power."

-Steve Punt: Should politicians get more sleep?. http://tinyurl.com/2u8f6sn
Comedy writer and performer for the always hilarious The Now Show was writing blog posts throughout the election on Yahoo. His post election blog focuses on the sleepy political leaders,

"Its slightly alarming to realize that crucial decisions concerning our nation's future are being taken by people who have spent the last few days acting like they're students in Finals week. A General Election, it turns out, is an all-nighter for the middle-aged."

Armando Iannucci: The result perfectly expresses contempt, confusion and sheer bloody-mindedness http://tinyurl.com/2uu9ynh
Writer, producer and director for the Thick Of It series appeared a number of times in post debate discussions and can now be found writing this great piece for the Independent.

"Nnnyaaaaaghwooohaaooooororarararararghhhhhhh. That's the message the electorate gave on Thursday. A long, angry, discordant noise that eventually became silly. Hence the result."

"it was going well in all the marginals where Lord Ashcroft had poured his money; the Tories were heading for a majority, it seemed. It was hilarious watching Mr MacKenzie getting quieter and quieter as the night wore on and Ashcroft's ready-reckoner turned out to be as useless as a straw hat in a fire."
