Tony Blairs revenge.... "so you people don't like me eh? well then, watch this, tadar, here's Gordon Brown"

Now he thinks he can actually win an election???

Was the woman in politics? If not, then I'm actually impressed! You know, because I'm so sick and tired of politicians being oh so respectful of the public all the time regardless of the circumstances, it is just sickening.

Here in Australia, my favourite prime minister ever is Bob Hawke. I never liked him at all until the day he called an old pensioner a "silly old bugger".

no, she was a nice old woman.  She asked a couple questions, he responded, said she came from a good family, etc.  Then he got in his limo, and thought his mic was off when he said she was a bigoted woman and the conversation was a disaster.

I'm way to busy with the ungodly mess that is the American political process to pay that much attention to comparatively stable countries like the UK.... but it looks like you guys are going to get a taste of what it's like to put up with the US electoral system.... if so I feel your agony.

You're assuming that democracy was ever under the control of voters in America...

Watching a little closer and wondering the same as you.  Stupid Brown and poor lady.

I am with you on the post election, and will hazard a guess on the changes to election rules - no.  I do not think it is bad what happened there, and it was time for it to occur.  Now they can really toss some bums out.

Well what happened was, there was huge turnouts at some polling stations, which werent prepared to handle the amount of voters coming to them, as this has to be one of the largest turnouts for ages. Some polling stations either ran out of ballots, or closed at 10pm, while at some polling stations, there were huge turn outs of voters who either were told to 'go away' or 'come inside' to vote. 

UPDATE:

At the moment, the liberal Democrats (57 seats) are talking with the conservative party (306 seats) over forming a coalition government, to form a majority government (passed 326 seats for a majority). Talks are still under way at this moment in time. 

According to the chairmen of the bank of England, the government who are in charge now, the chairmen believe that the party who is elected to form the government this term, are likely to become 'unelectable' in the next term, due to the amount of severe cuts, and tax rises which are to be made.

Any other updates, ill post on here.

MY PERSONAL VIEW

I hate conservative parties, I do not believe in there ideology, and I believed that Gordon Brown (who is an un-charismatic leader) would have done a great job in securing the recovery for the UK. However, I do wish that the Liberal Democrats form a new government with Gordon Brown, to secure this nations recovery. Labour have (258 seats) and Liberal Democrats have (57 seats), if they unite, with an Irish party, they will form a majority government, which I would like to see. 

I am just hoping there is no other recession with the conservative party in charge, My Dad remembers the Thatcher days, and he hated the Conservative Party. This party was against bailing out the Banks, against the stimulus packages and many other economic packages which were implmented in Recession.

Can you believe it? The UK would have lost RBS (Royal Bank Of Scotland), Loylds TSB, and Northern Rock etc. Losing major banks, and of course, some of these banks were high holders of shares in the FTSE 100, would have completely took away some of our major components to our wealth.

It seems to me, people prefer a more charismatic leader, then a leader who can actually put out policies, Gordon Brown has made a few mistakes, by selling Gold reserves at a Low price range, and other minor squabbles, but I tell you one thing, he saved our bacon in the recession.

Check it out, type in the 'third way economics'

will update if more news comes up.

Yeah, the news coming in was that, some polling statons acutally used pieces of paper when they ran out of ballot papers, however, it is legal to do that in this country. I do know that they were countered, however, if the candidate narrowly lost in the election, they maybe able to seek legal aid to weather (A) the scraps of paper used to vote when ballot papers ran out is allowed in the law at this present in time, and ( if this was used to corrupt the result in anyway.

UPDATE:

Gordon Brown will be resigning before September.

Labour are now in talks with the Liberal Democrats.

Liberal Democrats main issue in joining a coalition is weather they accept is the alternative vote system or proportional representation system. This helps smaller parties like themselves to get more seats. Here is what changing the voting will mean for each party:
