BUZZ-View from the buyside: UK political hiatus could impact Costain-Miton

** Engineer Costain could come up against headwinds in event of uncertain UK political outlook following Thursday's election, says George Godber, manager of CF Miton UK Value Opportunities Fund

** With Labour & Conservatives at stalemate in polls, fears building over a minority government & possible 2nd election that could trigger months of political instability

** Any political hiatus could spell significant delays to infrastructure spending, notes Godber

** While PM, who holds Costain, stresses need to be "live to the issues" that might impact co, would use any weakness in share price as a buying opportunity (notes all parties now understand need for proper long-term infrastructure plan for UK economy) (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : tricia.wright1.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
