Of that let there be no doubt.....whoever has the reigns of power will have some very tough and unpopular decisions to make. :yep:

But hasn't that always been the case in politics? :hmmm:

Ever known a politician answer a question in a straightforward easily understandable way? :DL

I'm watching the live coverage of the elections on BBC's site, my shoddy net connection is actually rotating the live television feed.

The candidates, especially Cameron just seem so smug and vacuous, no grand visions, everyone just grasping for power and seats. They only have to beat other similar individuals to win. No real stars or options available, it seems.

You could be right but Clegg has seen his party ratings climb massively as a result of his performance.

Liberals will never win due to the two party system that suites lab/con.

Hung Parliament will never work, lets say Labour win but need the help of the Liberals, Brown will have to give them two top jobs...Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Can you see Gordon Brown giving them to the liberals? And Clegg is not going to settled for lower order positions is he?

Then he returns to the Queen and seeks permission for an early re-election.

I'd like to see the Lib Dems given a chance....the other two have never done nowt for decades.

STEED 04-16-10 04:05 PM

Yep more of our money down the drain on a re-election.

I like the Greens manifesto about a living wage...£8.10ph. ;)

So do I, but lets face it.....it's never going to happen.

Tis very easy to make statements about things you are never going to have to materialise.
