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

[muon]

Oh no, In that post I was just expressing my dislike of Brown.

Fair enough. I just felt I had to make sure you understood (if you hadn't already) the other repercussions other than that benefit.

I like it how all the Tories are saying a Con/Lib coalition would be good - LOL

It is your only option, a minority Government would last 5 minutes.

I think Tories are desperate after being shut out for soo many years.

They would take a Lab coalition if needs must.

I'm a Labour supporter and I'm agreeing with it.

 

[mufc802]

A Tory/Lib Dem coaltion sounds like a plan, but still dissapointed Tory didn't win the majority. Still aslong as Labour are kept out it's all good.

 

[Slam62]

That's their opening position, as he said all these things can be discussed. A referendum with the Tories campaigning for a different system to the LibDems wouldn't be contrary to a coalition.

If the libs don't go for broke on p.r. they will regret it.

We could yet have lib/lab

With the caveat that the majority of Conservatives' policies will be put into action.

Yes, he's not giving much wiggle room for Nick Clegg, It's very much a 'like it or lump it' offer

 

[Squark]

I think agree with Cameron's outlined position, if he gave up any more he'd probably cause a big split in the Con party

On an unrelated note, given that Sunderland managed to count their votes in some 40 minutes, why has St Ives and a couple other places failed to count them over 12 hours later?

 

[Gimpymoo]

The fact is, nobody won this election.

The Conservatives do not have the majority backing of the country.

If the Libs do allign with the Tories, I know MANY Libs who will be ****** as NONE of the Libs important policies WILL EVER see the light of day.

being in an office full of labourities is a serious pain in the ass today , all moaning more then usual how tories this tories that....its rather painful.

Several recounts maybe?

Plus a measure of laziness

because they didn't bother to count them till this morning.

Theres no way a lib/lab coalition can get a majority unless they rope in some smaller partys as well

 

[britboy4321]

I think the libs may get PR out of this election ....

Welcome to the house of commons, oh brand new 13 BNP MPs

 

[RDM]

The fact is, nobody won this election.

Indeed, but you can quite clearly point out who lost it. Labour lost almost 90 seats and their share of the popular vote dropped by 6.3%

p.r. or nothing

The Scilly Isles included in St Ives, could it be the reason is waiting for the boat to come in?

I think we're more likely to get major constituency reshaping for more even representation

SDLP take the Labour whip and the Alliance Party are a sister party to the LibDems, that's another 4 seats on top of the 312 they hold right now (LD + Labour).

In a moment of irony, it's actually the libdems which are the biggest losers ...and who probably currently have the most power!

Forgive my stupidity but what is PR?
