By Tuesday the smoke will have cleared, the cleaners will have restored the furniture and taken out the empties, victors will be remembering their promises, losers will be considering what might have been and the rest of us will be preparing to live with the consequences. To open up a cathartic discussion and help us through the healing process we have brought together a panel of many and diverse talents. (And as a bonus Bruce Chapman will compare the success of the punters who have been brave enough to bet on the results with the predictions of the opinion polls. Who knows, the pollsters may be so embarrassed that we will never hear from them again.)

A light lunch will be available
