Aww... it really isn't that bad honest. I just looked it up because I'd never bothered to find out what it meant before.

I used the word study because I wanted Baz to think I'd been busy. Or else she makes me clean windows in the bungalow.

 Hi Suzy

hey baz

Never thought this darn election would go on this long

Bollox to them all!

VOTE QUIMBY

It's all gone tits up really hasn't it?

It has a bit, hasn't it

Ooh welcome back again Miss S.

Evening Gerties and GertZ!  

So I thought you'd like to know how things panned out for me in the end in west London.  
My MP changed from Lab to Con, as I never stopped telling you how much I feared on Friday morning!  This is in no way thanks to the LB tactical voting IMO which I had restrained myself from doing, and blimey, am I glad I didn't now, despite the outcome! LB came third anyway! But most interestingly, our council has gone from Con to Lab!!!  Now if that isn't enough of a demonstration to you what an effect tactical voting has had on things I don't know what is! They tried the tactical vote to try and keep the Tories out in Parliament but wanted to reinstate a Labour council! 

Oh... and I was amazed! The turnout in my constituency was just over 73%!

Cheers Ducky

LOL... glad we found out eventually Xochi .

tooooo true - would rather have had an outright winner of any persuasion

HIXZ

They didn't announce the results for the Council until Friday evening Baz! As, I noticed, they hadn't done for many councils in London. I suspect this may be in large part due to the problems that many polling stations had as regards queues and lack of ballot papers, and in my area, some scrutiny from the Electoral Commission about postal votes. I'd just say... watch this space!

HIGERTZX!

Oi! Quackers

Posted this in another thread aswell, im baffled at this moment...

Why do they all keep saying "the public WANTED and voted a hung parliament"

I didnt vote to get a hung parliament, I wanted Labour in... im just confused now How do they know that everyone wanted that result?

Jeez that paper just pisses me off more and more...

The tory loving paper sound quite full of themselves if you ask me

DELUDED Alex Salmond yesterday insisted his tiny group of SNP MPs would take control of the next UK Government.

The First Minister said his half dozen Nats held the Westminster balance of power - despite falling an embarrassing 14 seats short of his target of 20.

The cocky SNP leader said his party was ready to take charge of Britain.

He is banking on desperate Gordon Brown needing to get the Nats on board to help him form a Government with Lib Dem support.

I agree  .... I voted the opposite way to you, but defo not for a hung parliament... and I can't imagine anyone did.... or  how the so called pundits have come to that conclusion

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you our next Prime Minister.......



How many would vote for him..........

I wanted a pepperoni pizza.. I didn't get what I wanted either


Z.

LMAO..... Hi PB Have you recovered from our marathon?

Moan moan moan.....

LOL!  Is that whats being said?

As if we have had some sort of secret meeting (all of us.... the voting UK public) in a secret mahoosive shed somewhere.... and between us planned who was to vote what in order for there to be a hung parliament.

Its gonna be funny when one of them finally gets some sleep... wakes up and realises how pathetic that is!

it does show a "them & us" mentality though

Actually, the polls consistently showed that more voters wanted a hung parliament than any specific party getting overall control. A Times poll early-on included "hung parliament" as an option, and that got 32% support, compared with 28% wanting a Tory majority and 22% wanting a Labour one. Some polls before the campaign had the figure much higher: IIRC, there was a poll that had 46% support for a hung parliament...


Mind you, how you deliberately vote for that, I don't know...

Wonder if they still feel the same now though Eugene...?

Well, we'll see. I think it's far too early to be critical at the moment.

If the markets start falling like a stone on Monday morning, with a decision still looking unlikely till the end of the week, then that would be a different matter...


Personally, I like the way Rory Bremner put it: He suggested that as the politician's had all behaved like naughty schoolchildren (with the expenses scandal, etc), the public had decided to put them all in detention! "You're all staying in this room until you've agreed on an economic policy!"

Exactly.... it implies we all know how the votings going and who to vote for to even it up!

I reckon some people mistook a hung parliament for giving the MPs a bit of a kicking over expenses. As things are shaking out they are realising what it actually means. And it will do so even more on Monday when the stock markets open and our indecision over our government and the crisis with the Euro because of Greece sees their already meagre pensions are p*ssed up the wall. That is the price we will pay for this debacle.

 Perhaps we could put them on the naughty step

I have a bad feeling that you could be right Xochi

I'm bloody Xochi Baz!  *she should have gone to specsavers!*

Oh Buga, really Xochi, I was quite enjoying this until you said that!

 Sorry Xoch...... don't know why I  keep doing that

maybe this represents how they were thinking

Sorry Soops! Just call me the party pooper!  Oooo! Maybe I should start the Pooper Party for next time!
