Just woke up and this is the best news I have heard in years (result).

Labour/Libdem coalition seems by far the most likely solution. Fantastic.

Never, in my living memory, has an opposition with such a massively large lead at the start of the election failed so badly. Sorry Cameron, everyone realises your 'my policies are a secret just give me your vote' strategy was hopeless.

Again fantastic news. I think Labour will continue to perform the economic recovery we so desperately require, and then crack into the debt when we are back on our feet.

A fantastic day for everyone. Well, apart from ultra-rich folk! :)

That would be the quickest way to kill any chance of electoral reform succeeding in a referendum. It would prove Cameron correct with all his criticisms of PR, it is no longer the country choosing the government, but the political classes...

Fortunately, Clegg disagrees with you and will respect the will of the electorate.

Err No. Nick clegg will speak to the Tories.

Err No Labour have Failed !

Err No Labour took us into the deepest recession in living memory. Our deficit is going to be worst than Greece's and we will lose our triple A credit rating. Labour will/ have taken us to economic disaster

A fantastic day for everyone. Well, apart from ultra-rich folk! :)

Err No. Will be fantastic when Bigoted Brown leaves.

No they weren't. They were formed to be slightly further right than Labour. They were formed to be in between Labour and the Conservatives
:rolleyes:

Well, strictly speaking they were formed from one group that sits level with the Tories economically, but is much more socially liberal, and one that sits to the left of the Tories but is slightly less socially liberal when the Liberals and SDP merged.

You see I like a NICE society. Not a 'screw you, I'm alright Jack' society. Simples!

If a lab/libdem coaltion forms, I win. The country has spoken. Looks like the 'nasty party' failed to win overall. Admittedly bad, for multi-millionaires.

Interesting speech by Nick Clegg, good to see him sticking to his earlier statements that the Conservatives have the mandate to try and form a Government, Cameron should get on the phone.

This could be decisive, but then again he could just be posturing, he wants the best deal possible with labour and this could just be a threat, either way I think GB is going to have to go.
 
Policies are not some simple Left versus Right ideology. Our traditional view is Socialist left, Conservative/Capitalism right - but there's another axis. The involvement of the state - Statism versus Liberalism.

The Lib Dems share social values with Labour, but are closer to the Tories on state involvement.

Labour bought us the biggest, longest economic boom EVER. EVER. It was friggin awesome!

If the businesses didn't leave after 13 years, they arn't going anywhere. obviously.

Gordon Brown made us avoid depression. It was a GLOBAL recession. You think Britain could cause that under ANY PM? We're not that powerful ...

Can you remember when the tories were last in? Imagine if I told you your interest on your mortgage was 15%. 15% the price of your house, to be paid, per year. Would you be happy?

What makes you think a fiscally and socially authoritarian society is 'nicer'?

I prefer social and economic freedom, personally.

Last I checked it was something like:

Tory: 10m votes 290 seats
Lab: 8m votes 250 seats
Lib: 6.5m votes 50 seats

This needs to be fixed.

Totally agree, it's daft. Ordinarily Labour would have done better from that share of the vote due to where they're traditionally strongest too.

Anyone else think Clegg/Lib Dems will lose a lot of student/young voters if they form a coalition with the Tories?

If we get a PR system it won't matter, I imagine they'll pick up a lot of votes from people who no longer have to fear that voting LD would let in someone they really don't want.
