GRF - it might interest you that paradoxically, I have always voted Conservative but this time voted Lib Dem for the first time.
A big reason I did so was because they are the only party with an atheist as their leader, so I can be sure that there's a good chance of him being a sensible man who makes decisions based on reason rather than on what he thinks his invisible friend in the sky would like him to do. Being able to tell the difference between imagination and reality is a skill which I would rate as very important in someone who has their finger hovering over a nuclear missile button.. And my constituency is very marginal. I'm glad I canceled out your vote. Edited by Roy Race |

I don't believe Cameron is arsed one little bit about his religion. He's too intelligent. He just knows that he'd lose the blue-rinse vote if he didn't say he was C of E, which is why I admire Clegg for being progressive enough to just admit it.
Fantastic! Just watched Peter Robinson getting booted out. Couldn't have happened to a nicer highly religious, yet terribly immoral nutcase. |

Lib Dem vote up nationally, but they're down a load of seats. What a farce.

Only up a tiny little bit though. I think we'll see some sort of electoral reform now that the Lib Dems hold the balance. There seems to be quite a lot of political momentum for this.

You've just gotta hope that who ever ends up with the countries purse strings in their mitts carries on doing the right thing to get us out of the economic sh*t... It's gonna be an interesting few days & weeks as they sort themselves out after this. So can someone tell me...If we had PR would the Tories have won? |

Positive things need to be done to get us out of the economic hole NOW.
Darling, St Vince and Oily Osbourne need to get real and cooperate for a while. I think we will see another election in the next 12 months. Electoral reform won't happen anytime soon. Well done Caroline Lucas for winning Brighton.(home of Borderline Records and GAK, hurrah :-)) I'm not a "Green", but she comes across as reasonably grounded and has not overdosed on tofu and lentils.

Looks like, as ever, it's more complicated than that! Proportional Representation isn't one single method. There are lots of different systems which would fall into the category. |

Has anyone gone and queued and not been able to vote? We certainly didn't have a problem in our village hall with plenty of time to trade banter with the polling officer - an Albacore sailing fellow club member. |

Voted by post so no need to queue for me. Perhaps that is why the main party candidates did not feel the need to knock on my door when they visited the street.
