@troikagirl

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.

@anijijapan1975

Correct.

[sweetypie000]

2 months ago this was suspected to happen yet they never saw the recession coming or the banks up to their old tricks ? utter rubbish

get a grip people, get the scum out of parliament

[anijijapan1975]

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

When I first heard about this"hung parliment" I thought F*#~king good idea, where are they going to build the gallows?.......LOL.

@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.
