it's not over till its over

Britain’s government became the subject of an extraordinary bidding war last night after Gordon Brown announced his intention to resign in an audacious attempt to keep Labour in power.

source;

what a delicious little ploy. one that could halt the tories
in their tracks. cameron must be weeping

[billy]

many libs believe milliband to be honest about electorial reforms which is their main requirement
while many libs distrust cameron and the conservatives.

the reason being;
with proportional representation the conservatives would have lost a fair few of their seats. and the libs would have won a lot more.

lab on the other don't mind as much because at present it would suite their purpose.

[srijantje]

mr.plastic fantastic,we're luckily not asked if you could ever trust a guy with a smile like that

[billy]

i think prop representation is definitely the way to go
the number of seats shouldn't matter as long as they're equally divided among the voters percentage wise.

it has to be a lot fairer.

[mrmod]

Well we can't say for definite yet. There was such a big hype about Gordon Brown coming to save Britain from the crisis and he turned out to resign, due to pressure.

Take your own opinions of Miliband. He might be even worse than Brown. And certainly don't follow what everyone else is saying.

[. . . .]

Gordon Brown has now resigned, so there is the possibility that the Liberals will support a continuance of the Labour government with David Miliband, the current foreign minister, as the new prime minister.

I hate to say it but his smile is stereotypically British

[billy]

it's all over

David Cameron will begin today to forge the first peacetime coalition for more than 80 years after becoming Britain’s 53rd Prime Minister.

The Conservative leader opened a new political era by cautioning that “hard and difficult work” lay ahead for the new Government that will include at least three Liberal Democrats in Cabinet and a host of others in ministerial jobs. Nick Clegg is expected to be confirmed as Deputy Prime Minister today.

lets hope my exchange rate for the pound gets better

[srijantje]

yes,i agree.
now squeeze a few segments of the population and the pound should go back up a bit

[billy]

personally i think he's a jumped up snot rag with no idea.
almost ever con gov before him drove our country into economic ruin.
at least browns defeat was bred from the usa's fuck ups. till then we were on a roll. i feel sorry for whats about to come now.

cuts for the poor and subsidy for the rich. the cons belong to the business world of the uk they don't care about anyone else

[billy]

David Cameron is a direct descendant of George I, George II, George III, and King William IV (great × 5 grandfather) and his mistress Dorothea Jordan (and thus fifth cousin, twice removed of Queen Elizabeth II).
As an illegitimate descendant of William IV, Cameron is not in the line of succession to the British throne.

which makes the bastard the wrong man for the job

[srijantje]

well,it's defenitely over now,let's kick back and watch the bastards fuck up

[billy]

yes but were they legitimate or bastards like cameron?

[billy]

Lets not call the new British PM a bastard just yet, just because he is descended from an Irish actress who had at least 13 illegitimate children, including 10 with the future king William IV, back in the late 18th century.

okay i'll give the guy a chance.
we can call him a bastard in waiting

[srijantje]

but ofcourse he's a bastard,otherwise how can you become pm?and i'm deadly serious

[billy]

but ofcourse he's a bastard,otherwise how can you become pm?and i'm deadly serious

valid point but we're on about birth right sj.

i really do hope the guy does well but somehow
i think he'll be one of the worst prime ministers yet

[srijantje]

couldn't be worse than john major,could he?

[billy]

couldn't be worse than john major,could he?

now that was a pussy.

[billy]

The only real men occupying 10 Downing Street during the past 100 years, were Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
All the rest were pussies.

i agree and all this talk about coalition. churchill was in a coalition gov.

maggie had bigger balls than all the men

i liked harold wilson. he was out and out for the working man, very astute mind but i stupid sounding voice.

[billy]

don't forget the pound went down as soon as he came into power as well

[billy]

i hope so though i'd have to ask myself at what cost.

the one good thing is that we may get proportional representation. something i believe in.
