How do you reply to  post on here, an individual one?! it sdrives me nuts this place, I cannot have a convo! but yes, to folks above, I heard Cameron with his pinch kennedy speech, what a tosser.
I think its a very sad day for Uk Godon Brown has resigned. he is not one with a great casisma but huge intellect and an ethical man. Times I try and tell people he is not to blame for the WORLD reccession and moved quicker than any other government leader to take action with the banks.
My neighbour, pure W/C, what ever that might mean, told me proudly she was voting for cameron becuase she liked him! nothing about Tory policies, oh no, she just"likes him". I dispair and feel very sad about it all.perhaps those of us who could see what a dedicated man he was/is should send him deluges of thank you cards!?
But now Thatchers children are in GOD HELP GREAT BRITAIN if your not a big bussiness oron the rich list.

I have to say that GB was one of the most clued up Chancellors this country has ever had. The world wide recession was, well world wide and he put measures in to place to protect public services to protect the needy and vulnerable in this country. I have heard many (some on this forum) testify to that. He was, IMHO not such an effective PM. I still feel a pang of sadness that it came to this, and choked a little seeing him and his family leave Downing St. but politics is a nasty game, and he played nasty too sometimes. I wish him well

I should of just done what Darlo did and stay out of the way... Il worry more about politics when I reach around 20
You know what meaty, that's the best thing to happen with this election....young and first time voters jumping on board. My sons are 11 and 9 and they have even taken an interest (one is a Tory, but he says it's because they are blue like Chelsea ...but he still listened). You carry on taking part. It's your country too, and it's your right. I learnt a lot about the stuff you mentioned about your family and their work in child care. More grease to your elbow

Not only has Clegg got a top job out of joining the Cons, he's con(ned) many of his supporters who didn't want the Cons in, it's all a con
Well said YR.... If there is no definite winner, then IMO--- A re-election should be made..... We as voters have no control over the alliances being made... a kick in the teeth for voters IMO...

But it was predicted for several weeks that the Conservatives were unlikely to win an overall majority, and that a coalition was a strong possibility.  Whilst I accept that there are many people who voted for the Liberal Democrats to try to keep their Conservative candidate from winning, there were also many people who voted Liberal Democrat to try to keep their Labour candidate out.  What really amazes me is that after such a high profile election campaign, the turnout was still 65.1% overall, with the highest turnout only reaching 73%. How on earth can so many people not bother to vote?  And yet I bet many of them will be whinging about the outcome.   I really would like to see voting made compulsory.

I don't undertand why so many don't bother to vote. Politics affect everybody's life, so there are always people who are happy with some issues that affect their life and unhappy with others. Only in elections do we get a chance to voice our opinion, the rest of the time we have to take what's dictated by politicians. In some countries people risk their lives to vote.

I think that just goes to show how disparate the Lib Dems are .....somehow they're not such a cohesive unit as Labour or Conservatives IMO .............I dont see it being a very bumpy old ride all rond TBH .......................there are gonna be a lot of disgrunteled Tory MP's who are gonna be a tad peed off at being overlooked for key positions in favour of a party who only got 51 seats.
If nothing else it'll be interesting to watch ..........I can see it going tits up TBH.

This is why the present electoral system needs to change..... We may not like what the Gov't is doing--- but have to rely on local MP's to gain seats---- seems like a no-win situation IMO.... The present system is  not what we need in the 21st century.... Too many local councils and general councils. -- The house of Lords is another issue.... Get shot of it------ added expence.... no need for for it--- we vote for who we want to run the country....  why should them owd farts be allowed to veto the stuff that our voted for MP's have put forward.... The national debt could be probably wiped out overnight if the House of Lords was scrapped... It is dated.. and needs to scrapped.... We need to get into the groove of 21st century politics... and forget the old system....
