a frigging riot? I'm in!

[ripple11]

Ok can sumbody please explain in very simple terms to a political noob who won and what it all means! Kthnxbye

No one won, they all lost

the two parties who came 2nd and 3rd may stitch it up between them, or may not.

Please take an interest next time, democracy in action is a wonderful thing. Beats any TV drama, and a lot of novels

You're welcome

I turned it on when I got in from town! Was quite intresting!

So Gordy Bmeister is still the main man?

Could well be. Since Labour are currently in power, they get first dibs at setting up a coalition. Apparently.

I'm going to start a frigging riot if Gordon doesn't GTFO.............

Of course Brown can give the carrot of PR.....but I don't think for one second Clegg is stupid enough to prop up Brown, and even that wont be enough to form a Gov.!!

Cameron will be in No.10 this time next week.

Will it move quickly after today, or will this drag on for weeks/months?

It has to have something in place for monday. Markets will smack govt debt and sterling if not

WTF is all this hung parliament nonsense.......a majority is a majority no?

whether its 100 votes or 2 million votes it shouldn't matter.  Makes a mockery of democracy IMO.

This will only make voters think WHY THE FOOK DID I BOTHER.

For the record, I didn't bother voting, glad I didn't make the effort, pointless bs.

They're all shit anyway and never give us straight answers.

The most seats isn't necessarily a majority, they need 326 which they didnt get

It doesn't mean who has won the majority of seats; it means winning the majority of seats in the Commons.

There are 650 seats so the majority of seats overall would be 326

291 to 248 (at the momemt) is a fkin majority no?

or do all numbers now count for nothing?

So when I drink 5 pints later I can tell the wife I actually had 15 but it doesn't matter as these numbers are actually no different and still mean I only had 5!!!

LOL

[Matt.NFFC.]

So the 2 million extra votes for the tories counts for shit???

LOL @ democracy

[TightEnd]

Clegg should think long term. Let the Conservative in as a minority, watch it be really tough for six months, then when the second election comes do a long term deal on PR with Labour


Dispassionately, you don't want to win this election...you'll be unpopular for a long long time
