    The whole thing shows what a sham our "democracy" and electoral system is.

    How else should it be decided? A straight vote off would be unfair.

    So if there's another vote in x months time and no-one gets 326 seats (or however many they need for an outright win), what happens then? :huh: Do we keep having elections every x months until someone does, or what? :huh: :confused: (where is the 'shrug' smiley anyway? :mad: )

    Surely though Cameron cant be that happy with this result. A very unpopular (unelected) PM, a labour party riddled with in fighting, a world recession, banking collapses, high unemployment, national debt at a record high and still he cant get a big enough majority to create his own government.

    Despite what it looks like, something did not go right for the tories. This election should have been like labour in 1997 but there was no Michael Portillo moments, to be honest it all felt a bit flat, this was supposed to be the tories moment.

    Clown will be dragged kicking and screaming from No.10

    I'm 100% serious that if Labour try and hang-on with squalid 'pledges' to Cleggover, I shall be pleased to rampage through the streets in a populist riot.

    Me too...the un-elected piece of **** better go soon

    SAS ready to Move In on No.10


    A crack team from the SAS was today mobilised to get Clown out of No.10. Famous for the Libyan Embassy siege, the SAS are trained to deal with delusional fanatics after all negotiations have broken down. Brigadier Hubert Tiddly-Wink said, "The lads know just what to do. Even after these nut-jobs barricade the doors, we can go in down a chimney. We give them one chance to leave quietly, then it's 'rat-a-tat-tat', if you get my draft!".

    "Come on out Gordon! You can't stay locked in the lavvy for ever!"
    "Hoots!"

    blair has made a lucrative post pm career of giving lectures around the world , if gordon decides to go down this route and gives big business the the gift of his knowledge on finance , the best advice i can give them is to ignore it and do the opposite

    ..., Gordon Brown has already been voted out".

    We don't vote people out. I like the joke but is based on nonsense.

    For the record, I have no vested interest in maintaining the Status Quo and voted neither Labour nor Lib Dem.

    Good point.

    The problem is the Jocks will never vote Tory and have their own Parliament anyway. The English clearly voted Conservative (link).

    That is true, i think it shows how far apart the home nations are politically and why in my opinion independence is inevitable.

    With independence why do the scots have to ask England to let them go it alone, if they wanted it that much why dont they take the leap themselves instead of asking for our permission?
