Or other parties. For example, Trident could easily be passed by a minority Tory government against LibDem will assuming Labour vote honestly rather than simply to nobble the Tories.

I don't understand something else. If a side needs to reach 326, and the Tories are at 291 with 621/650 seats results in, why is Parliament hung when they could still get to the required number?

Maybe because the Tories need 35 more seats and there are only 29 left to declare?

lol
 
I don't understand how the votes can count given that hundreds of people were turned away last night because the voting areas couldnt cope with the demand.

Labour voters are probably more likely to be students or unemployed who don't have to work so their vote was easy to use, but Conservative people would have been at work all day so would have had to queue and most likely didn't get a chance.

The fact that hundreds were turned away should mean a re-vote with people given enough time to enter their vote at the voting booths after they finish work in the evening.

Seems he's won tbf, the amount of supports/fliers etc here are impressive. I've only seen 1 Labour sticker, and Vera birds been drowning her sorrows most nights.

Well He did get 12million in donations, Lib dems got 64k? Not sure about Labour.

Marketing seems to work, even if the main guy is a ****.

The stations opened at 7am. I stopped by on my way to work, it was empty.

ROFL your hearts in the right place but your facts are just made up to suit your total lack of knowledge.

I'm actually pretty sure it was said last night that late voters tended to be Labour.

And as if the majority of the stereotypical Con voters actually have to work! :p

Because the laws around polling, how long the stations can be open for and what happens on closure are absolutely, utterly, crystal clear?

There is argument for review of the processes that led to the problems, but there was no alternative but to close the polling stations at 10 (unless they had the foresight to issue ballot papers before 10pm).

It's unlikely to have made much difference in the vast majority of constituencies anyway.

Tory voters are probably more likely to be so rich they have never had to work because daddy gave them millions, or got given a business where they just turn up to collect the money once a week so their vote was easy to use, Labour people would have been at work all day so would have had to queue and most likely didn't get a chance.

/fixed for ya
 
Me personally .. I think Clegg is going to 'coalition' with whoever offers him 'PR'.

That would infinitely help the Lib-dems in the long-term.

It's quite sad really - basically which ever party (Labour or Cons) compromises more ends up in power!

Clegg must feel he's the king of the world ..
