sooo ... what's the word over there? ... a hung parliament!??? ... really, if blair was sucking US cock and gordon brown wasn't such a loser ... labour would win by a landslide i think ...

Fuck knows, right now. There were voting irregularities, mainly down to incompetence on the part of returning officers who didn't know what to do in the event of high voter turnout. Some polling stations ran out of ballot paper. Others turned away crowds of people at ten pm (poll closing time). Others still kept their doors open illegally an extra half an hour to let people mark their X. It's all been a balls-up.

Brown and Cameron are now courting Clegg behind the scenes. You'd think Clegg a social liberal, but he's more of a market liberal, as is his number two Vince Cable. Everything is up in the air.

I think the BBC is still broadcasting its election coverage in the US and Canada. Try this link and see:

thanks for the info ... sounds like a cluster fuck ... and usually - the con artists win in those situations ...

This accounts for less than 1% of the total votes cast though. 30million votes cast overall... estimates of between 500 and 1500 people not having been able to vote due to your above reasons.

Stat-tastic! What was Fiona Bruce banging on about, every five minutes, then? Mind you, she did make the Freudian slip of the century and said "Labia majora" instead of Labour majority, last night.

Hang on, here we go. Cameron's spouting bollocks on the telly now ...

Did she really??? I'm guessing thats a joke but if its true then thats fantastic.

what's auld condom head saying now?

Strong speech from Cameron but i think its clear he's not going to offer the Lib Dems the reform they want/need. I think Clegg would be better off with Brown to get that reform the country needs.

I would give my opinion but I reckon now's an excellent time to start censoring my internet activity :oops:

Ah, I'm not stopping. I just needed to purge about this fakkin' Tory shoiiiite. The horror. The horror ...

Poor leadership on Labour's part is the main reason, no? This will hopefully clear out Brown and his ilk and bring in fresh, honest leadership.

Is any party safe from becoming too entrusted with power?

kenny olav

Don't get me wrong, Fins. I feel your pain. Fucking David Cameron!

Yup, he has...

Blimey, it's been a good day in politics. 2010, watch the Murdoch press go to fire, hehe ....

Bad day at the office for the right wing media. I know Campbell's a smarmy, machiavellian git, but still: Boulton looked as if he'd just found out his beer drip had malfunctioned!

LBC

This is now very messy.

Sort it out quick for gods sake. The maths tell us it has to be Cameron in Downing Street with Lib Dem support. The important thing now is stablity. A coalition between Labour and Lib Dem can't be an option. The defeated joining together in a pathetic bid for power.

No, no,no! :twisted:

dunkman

I don't want a Tory govt as much as the next working class bloke... but at the end of the day we shouldn't have a govt that is made up of a coalition of the two LOSING parties... Labour lost big style and the Libs lost 10% of their seats... thats a pretty big drop.

Byrnzie

I get depressed just looking at British politicians. They all look so grey and self-important.

If it was up to me I'd spike these pasty-faced dullards' cups of tea with L.S.D and then have them tarred and feathered.

seemed like an obvious move ... pretty fascinating what is going on ... anyone have ideas about who would replace brown if they still manage to hold onto power?
