Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[manic111]

Could someone explain why a certain party having more seats than the others isn't enough to win and why 326 is some sort of magical number?

Because 326 gives a party a majority (over half the seats in commons), allowing them to put through motions. Without a majority, parties must work together, leading to a hung parliament.

SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!! Lol here the BBC go...

 

[meghatronic]

Where did you hear that?

Was announced on BBC and is on their feed.

Think about it.

650 * 1/2 + 1 = 326 = working majority = do the **** what I say *****.

LMAO

What does Paxman expect Milliband to say?

I'm your new PM?

 

[Booner!]

My Girlfriend worked from 5am until 2pm, then had to attend training until 6, then had a netball match to play. She managed to vote, but only just.

UPDATE - 600 people turned away in Chester as the sheets weren't up to date! Turned away as "they weren't registered"

BUT, there are only 649 seats up for grabs tonight because of my constituency in N Yorks delaying the vote.

 

[Robbo]

Haha, zoomed in on a fly on the touchscreen

 

[Jonny69]

I like Milliband.

I am having general erection problems.

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Reckon that's a real touch screen or is someone pulling the strings when she whacks it?

I should write for newspapers? What do MR, what do? Kthxbai.

Just to be clear, they don't actually need 326, as Sinn Fein never turn up, amongst others. >310 = happy Tory's.

 

[The Mad Rapper]

I'm your new PM?

OK. I don't want to pay tax. Ever.

Gordon is as much use as the pope's knackers and I fully expect to have his job by Saturday ?

 

[Andy_82]

i'm sure Milliband can't wait to give Gordan the boot, though he'll probably screw it up!

Magick conspiracy thread incoming in 3...2...1...

 

[Five_Star]

YaY Redcar on BBC, get Labour out

 

[territt]

Yes indeed, unless you're working a 15 hour shift you should not be making a fuss about not being able to vote.

I worked 9 hours today, with 2 hour comute to work and 2 back, that left me 2 hours to vote, i live in a village where there wasnt anyone else there, but in a big city with a 3 hour wait i woult have been ****ed.

Reckon that's a real touch screen or is someone pulling the strings when she whacks it?

Both probably
