An embarrassment to democracy?

I know I said wouldn’t mention it again, but the election happened 5 days ago and we still don’t know who the Prime Minister is.
There’s been, in the words of Paul Simon, ‘negotiations and love songs’ but they’re still no nearer compiling a new government than they were at midnight on Thursday.
As the whips, backbenchers, ex-PMs and ministers have all failed to reach an agreement on a coalition, I’ve thought of a few other ways they might decide which way to move forward:
1. The wives of the party leaders all appear on Page 3 of The Sun. The one with the nicest baps wins the General Election for her husband.
2. The 3 leaders get locked in a prison cell naked with an angle grinder and a bandsaw between them. The one left standing alive is Prime Minister.
3. Use a computer to randomly select a ten-year-old boy and put him in charge. He probably wouldn’t do any worse.
4. Execute all MPs and start again from scratch. (I call this The Extreme Democracy Option)
5. Let me take over and run everything.
