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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

atleast if you go and vote, you have the right to complain for the next four years.

But what if the party you voted for wins? You'll be responsible!

Better vote for a no-hoper - Green, UKIP or whoever, then nothing will be your fault and you can moan forever. That'll be my strategy, anyhow.

short of topics with which to troll that you have to resort to something so obvious and
inappropriate?

Well phil, we could talk about washer womens rights and correct batten tension on older
boats like the B14 if you like, but this is the banter bit and the subject is at least topical,
to the point I note you have even bothered to brush the crumbs off your keyboard and
wipe away the spittle from the screen.

As to your own views, everyone knows B14 sailors are bottom feeders so will naturally
vote labour so I'd expect a retort like this and I'm going to ignore it, given the plague
that has descended upon the B14 world with the onset of messrs Dumb & Dumberer, so
I understand your lack of self worth, cheer up, it could be worse, Ovingtons could be
considering roto moulding for the future..
