EXCELLENT I think ITV News should show the clip or better still the BBC 6 oclock news but hey they would never do that too deep in Gordon Broons Pocket next a clucking Chicken with Browns head on it would be fab running around the farm yard or maybe a headless chicken? I've not laughed so much in months I really think this needs to be shared with the Nation it will make everyone laugh as much as I did brilliant love it.

all ukip is is a bunch of second rate tories who hate europe, but you're so arrogant and oblivious, you don't realise libdems want to let the people decide whether to stay in europe. Surely that's the way to do it.

Your comment wreaks of ignorance. The fact that you say that shows that you have no knowledge of the importance Liberals have played throughout British politics over the last century. Just last week we had an example with the Gurkha campaign- it was the Lib Dems who introduced the bill in Parliament against the governments decision and won! 30,000 brave war veterans will not be ignored because of them.

The nation shouldn't be confused! We are a Centrist Radical party, and we are where we've always been, unlike both Labour and the Tories who flip flop on so many issues. The Liberal Democrats have always had a consistent stance on Europe, fair green taxation, defending civil liberties, less beuracracy (handing power to local level), and cutting crime via more police officers.

there are a vew countrys with Labour parties, but only Britain has the unfortunate luck to have some tacky Liberal Democrat party, what a sting, the Lib Dems are like a thorn in the side for british politics, utter waste of space time money, they should pack in, no one cares about them anyway, irritating lot

Good! You'll love it here. You'll have to get used to the customs and learn to spell color without a "u", but I'm sure it will be an easy and worth-wile transition.

Maybe you should move to the U.S.A. We have a great incoming congress and a great incoming president. Plus, Americans love people with British accents. Move to a northern state like New York or a western state like California though, the south is the crappy part of America.

It sounds like you guys have a confusing government. In the U.S.A we have a general election every 4 years that elects the president and half of the congress, then a midterm election 2 years after every general election that elects the other half of the congress. Elections occur on the first tuesday of November and election dates cannot be changed by any of our leaders. Individual states hold elections to elect their governers, mayors, legislators, etc. on their own scheduale.

Oh, well thanks for telling me that. What do the Liberal Democrats stand for then?

[GeeYouAreYou0001]

I'm not suggesting that you aren't a democratic nation, I was just confuesed by your electorial system. Liberal Democrats, or in America just Deomocrats, are in controle in the U.S.A. They dominate the House of Representitives, They have a nearly filobuster proof majority in the Senate, and our new president is a Democrat. I'm happy about that to considering conservatives like George Bush have fucked the U.S.A. up for the past 8 years.

Wait a minute, In the U.K. the prime minister decides when there will be an election to replace him or get him re-elected? It seems like you guys give your leader to much power.
