just an spectator, for the good and fairer United Kingdom-England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is to have their prime minister. Still believe LIB LAB SNP, Plyd, Green represents UK paliament since it's HUNG parliament. Tory did not win. I found it nauseting to read how bully the reporters and newspapers are.
Tory is squabling to finally offer to LibDem the referendum AV after open talks to Labour. ha ha ha ha
Nick Clegg is a disgrace if he goes into a coalition with the Tories without PR, he'll have stabbed all the voters who voted Lib Dem in the back and no doubt will lose most of his parties seats in 4 years time.
Tories won 326. Labour won 258 seats. LibDem won 57 seats.
I'm not Einstein, but looking at those figures I would say the Tories won.
The majority of people in the UK voted for the Conservatives..so Tories should be should be in OUTRIGHT power...that's democracy, it's what the people wanted.
The Tories didn't win, they didn't get enough seats end of story.
The Tories might have the most seats but its clear the majority of British people didn't vote Tory and in N Ireland & Scotland they have no mandate to govern with one seat from both those countries.
they'd get away with a majority of 323 not 326 as while the total number of seats may be 650 Sinn Fein has 5 seats and they refuse to take up their seats and take part in parliament so not much point counting them
So basically some fat people are going to shout for a bit in a room until the one with the loudest voice wins. Therefore getting to sit in a big chair to be laughed at and scrutinized by the media, which in turn is controlled by the oil companies in which much of the government has shares in. Three cheers for a 200 year old corrupt government that votes for itself.
My dad told me that his understanding of a hung parliament, was when the total country is so fed up with wots on offer from the current politicians that the queen invites them all to the Tower of London and has them all hung in the tower ,
Then we Start again from Fresh ............. Seems like a great idea can we claim expenses to go and watch
i think that voting should be law! the goverment should pay any employer 2 hours wage so people can to get off and vote this way you do get the real opinion on what the conutry wants......... did u know fact states that if everyone that supports labour got of there arses and voted labour they would win hands down! i
whats the fuss about hung parliament we have a coalition government in India for years because of hung parliament thought the present GOI is no hung parliament but INDIANS respect hung parliament. No paraphernalia
@TheDrunkenTrooper Since when did Britain get the opportunity to elect the prime minister? When you go to cast your vote, do you see the leader of parties in the ballot paper or the candidate who is looking to represent its constituent. Looks to me as if you are thinking about the presidencial system, which this country doesn't follow.
@MissxDani That idea I'm quite fond of, but we will in turn have to get rid our Monarch and in process, losing the countries most prestigious and precious heritage. We will then have to adopt the Presidential system and elect a President as the head of state. With us being able to vote for a President rather than a Prime minister. Our constitution is not simple to understand and I just hope it is reformed, that gives us clear rights and more ability to express our democracy.
Anyone who has knowledge of how our system works would say the same thing. We have an unwritten constitution but that doesn't mean we don't have procedures in place for a hung parliament.
A LibLab goverment with Gordon Brown as PM virtually guarantees an outright majority for the Tories in four years, maybe even a landslide, regardless the voting system.
These politicians remind me of a load of fish trying to get out the fishermans nets but unlike the fish these people are fighting to get in the net. The whole system doesn,t work we need to scrap the old system which is based on lords and land owners form millions of years ago and completely create a new system which is based on none profit and none celeb type politics also get rid of imbalanced and totally false news reporting.
why are people being so cynical about politics at the mo'. if you don't like the status quo (hell, i want the whole lot shot) do something about it. while people sit on their arses wingeing, politicians won't change, they know the public won't do anything. make 'em work for their money. politicians can't change the world on their own, everyone else has to do their bit as well. peace
Exactly why we should have proportianal representation... rather than this undemocratic First Past the Post system which does not truely reflect the public's vote.
Within power, there is corruption. Without corruption, you have no power...........(W.Churchill)........(apparently came out with that one)!!!! and not much has changed since, so it would seem............
Very educational, especially for us foreigners, but goddamnit Youtube, you can't even stream your highlights at 360p over my 110/5? Shame on you. Ever since HD got introduced, what little pipe you had has gone down the toilet.
@foxhounduk2k8 in my a level government and politics class, we all predicted what will happen today and it was right. it was quite obvious that it will be a hung parliament with the torys coming up so close.
70 percent of legislation is made in brussels now. The banks owns whoever gets in. We pay 45 million per day to the E U. All the goverment can do now is increase stealth taxing and shuffle round small increases in all tax related revenue hoping nobody will notice. None of the parties have got any new ideas. Vote for change! What does that mean? Change from what to what? They all seem to want power, thats it.
instead of having a hung parliment why not just hang all gov members and let the monkeys take over plus they dont take bungs and claim for duck houses and mars bars i say i say i say
who did mr cleg goto school college and university with , what society other than masons are they all in other than all the partys taking orders from Bilderburg group
Its all a wwf national tv game show. We Know WHO makes the decisions > the BILDERBURG group , unlike Americans ( heavily dumbed down with floride and other chemicals ) we the British ( anyone can be British ) arent quit there yet but the NWO is trying.This means they have to play the game a bit more wisely to acheive the desired results including the stopping of voters voting by closing down polling stations .reality is an illusion
tbh conservatives are pretty against the middle class and students, so im not down with them im afraid. doubling uni fees and discriminating against middles classes for uni is harsh :/.
I voted LibDem, i am a politics student, i know what im on about. Policy wise, i would say LibDem did it for me. Unfortunately, we're currently in the position where Tories wan to go against the constitution and form a minority Government. They used to uphold it, now theyd lie about it to govern england?
I am not surprised by the situation and in the present climate, do not see it as a bad state to be in. More peoples opinions shall be taken into consideration because of this outcome.
@moncho4u No it won't, what we need is decisive government, the publice have thoroughly rejected Gordon Brown and the Labour party, the Lib-Dems results were as I expected - an absolute joke. If it wasn't for our ridiculous electoral system David Cameron would be sitting in No10. He and the Tories have the biggest share of the vote, Gordon Brown should pack his bags and fuck off out of there.
i was looking at the figures, in scotland conservatives got almost half the number of votes labour did, conservatives got 1 seat and labour got 41, how fucking ridiculous is that? to be honest, 1 extra vote should decide the new government, conservatives should be in power.
I reckon, hopefully not TOO optimistically, that this result could pave the way, however tentatively, towards a positive change regards people/govt communications & the needs & wishes of we the people actually being represented & with accuracy & dedication.I'm on the edge of my seat right now, I firmly believe, no matter what, seeds of change r already planted for the future for all. Legally the votes are void anyhoo. Reform!
The situation Professor Hazell describes is EXACTLY what we now have (the morning after the General Election). Although Nick Clegg has been disappointed he nevertheless has an important part to play at this point.
Great, so we have MPs even more short sighted than usual, putting their personal and party needs above the wishes of thoase who voted for them. All done in secret, all about favours past and future. Corruption and self interest will be rampant.
