Totally off topic but Ashes to Ashes and the GORGEOUS Gene Hunt

They are going to alienate some people which ever way they jump. They're in a real crappy position I think. I feel sorry for Nick Clegg.

I'm a bit torn about the whole thing.... as much as it pains me to say it, the Conservatives deserve to govern in some way, they got the most votes after all. But the Lib Dems don't deserve it! Why is it fair for the Lib Dems to have more power than Labour when they came third?

On the other hand.... if they join forces with Labour... then that hardly seems fair either.... two of the losing parties then govern???

The whole thing is a bloomin mess!

I understand the system,... I just don't agree it's fair.

Hi PB Hi Zaph

Only just PB! Seriously..... teaching on little sleep just does not work! I have been an embarrassing mess of mistakes and memory lapses all day

If someone at your workplace gets a promotion over you, then you'd still have to engage with them. If you don't like it, then go! Clegg is right to talk things through with whoever.

*sigh..wibble...faint*

I agree.... there's nothing else he can do. I'm just mulling things over in an "ideal world" kinda way. It just seems like a general worker making decisions with the manager and freezing out the assistant manager, if you get what I mean

See, this is why I don't normally "do" politics.... I like things in black and white, and hate all these grey areas.

Fire up the Quattro!!!

Indeed it is! I guess all we can do is hope that, by some miracle, they have all learnt from the problems faced in situations like this in the past and actually try and make it work for the country. I'm comlpletely fed up with MPs behaving like kids in the playground and with all the tittle-tattling that goes on...maybe now our political system will mature and actually focus on us, the public, rather than on pathetic points scoring between the parties.

Hung parliaments don't last,a new election in months rather than years.

I'm hoping that's the way it goes too. It would be great if something good comes out of this.

Hello there MrsB.

I have my hair as big as it will go, some rather gorgeous plastic hoop ear-rings, my pixie boots and a hugely shoulder padded jacket on and I'm ready to go!!!!!

Amazing isn't it... the mention of Gene Hunt and grown women go all wobbly and slobbery (I include myself in this BTW)!!

I'm disappointed that most of the MPs who fiddled the system have got away with it, I expected a whole fresh bunch of MPs who might still have principals, but instead the counry seems to say 'as you were'. Sad.

*staggers in bleary eyed* ... Afternoon voters

Oy he's MINE!!!

oooh...  I wish you'd said that earlier...  

I feel all excited and happy again now!

Where, I imagine, the lib dems will lose a lot of votes.

I think if Clegg and the Lib Dems sell out, just for a PR referendum that they might not even win, they will do their cause irreparable harm..... and be seen as selling their souls, just like the other parties....

& ... surprisingly I think I want Cleggy boy to go blue!

I feel strange feeling like this... but I think if its gonna work, it'll be with the conservatives.  Maybe the lib dems will bring the love!

Oh no, he s most definately mine....and until I untie him, he remains so!!!!!

Afternoon Baz, still suffering the after effects of last night then?

My niece has just come in and said why don't they all just join up together and form a Government?  Oh KL if it was that easy... She has been really interested in this one as next time round is her first time for voting, so she has taken it all very seriously and was looking at the young voters page on the BBC election site and asking me and Mr Pink what we thought, we told her she must look at everything she can and then make her own mind up about who she votes for.

I think so too Super People will REALLY retrench if we have to go to the polls again....

LOL... Hi PB Was quite a night though, eh

Yes but I have the keys to the Quattro......

*dashes off to plant a tree just in case ballot papers aren't printed on paper from sustainable sources/recycled paper*

Sounds fair...you have the car then...I'll keep the man...he'll look gorgeous in my jag.

It was Baz, I didn't even bother going to bed, made myself a bed on the settee after Kayleigh had gone to college and slept on there.

Hey Zaphod.... don't tell me you have been here all day

Oooops...nearly missed you there...afternoon Baz xxxxxxx

Mr B and I went to bed for about 2 hours.... but quite frankly, I couldn't sleep.... and I knew I had to be up, washed, dressed etc for the hairdresser

I agree.... they're in a bugger of a position aren't they?

Hey there Mrs B Not hard at them moment... I am a mere shadow of my former self..... I think my days of all nighters are over How are you?

I do in the sense that I think it will be fairer..... but I don't because I think it will do the Lib Dems harm in the long run.

I'm not liking this hung parliament thingy Ditty.

Although I'm BLOODY FASCINATED by it

I think so Ducky.... Support Conservatives and put PR on hold... or support Labour and be seen to prop up a party which has the lowest seats and number of votes, which surely makes a total mockery of the idea of PR anyway.

bugger!     I was all excited cos of Mr Dittys surprise box of champagne...  I made room in the fridge for them...  polished the glasses.... and have just realised I can't have any cos I'm on meds

(I think my face may actually have looked exactly like that for a few minutes!)

I'm good, ta muchly Baz xxxx I tried to stay awake, but gave up at about 2am....I'm going to campaign for election to be held at the weekends!!!

*runs round to Dittys...nicks a bottle of champagne...legs it back to deepest, darkest Suffolk...glugs the lot....belches...makes inappropriate suggestions to nice young man....man runs away, terrified....*

Being frivolous for a moment, now is the time for Simon Cowell to set up a X Factor type sing off between the three party leaders.... or a Big Brother moment "Who leaves, you decide..."
