UK Election 2010

    Its the big day! Today Britain decides which bunch of lying scumbags they want running the country.

    For those overseas this has been the most eventfull election for a long time. The television debates (a UK first) have galvanised a good deal of interest. The tories and Labour are neck a neck and the Lib dems, the third party (which is something we have on this side of the pond) have made dramatic gains to be not only potential "kingmakers" but also to have a punt at the big league.

    A Hung parliment is very possible. A labour or Tory win is possible. A Lib dem win is unlikely but this year? Wouldn't rule it out!

    Ironically enough, many polls show that the lib dems have more votes than either of the others! However due to the first past the post system we have here, they are not likely to win as many seats as the other 2.

    So lets hope everyone exercises their democratic privilege today, especially in a world where people are fighting so hard to hard to win it for others. Democracy, is a ridiculous way to run a country, but we can't come up with a better one so make sure you vote!

    Anyone going to stay up for the results?

    Here is how the daily Mash reported it.

    BROWN AND CLEGG IN SYNCHRONISED LARRY GRAYSON TRIBUTE Print E-mail
    30-04-10

    DAVID Cameron moved a step closer to Downing Street last night after Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg's ill-judged tribute to Larry Grayson.

    [​IMG]
    Polls immediately after the final leaders debate gave the Tory leader a clear victory while his opponents were left to question the tactical wisdom of their symbolic homage to late Generation Game frontman.

    In an angry debate, Mr Clegg was forced to defend his plans to put VAT on new homes, join the Euro and grant an amnesty to thousands of illegal Isla St Clairs.

    Pledging to invest in Britain's manufacturing industries, he added: "This country needs to get back to making things. Hideous, deformed things on a potter's wheel that is clearly beyond our control."

    But the Lib Dem leader seemed less assured than in the previous debates and after 30 minutes resorted to interrupting Mr Cameron by exclaiming 'shut that door' whenever the Tory leader was in full flow.

    Meanwhile, a visibly ****ed Mr Brown attempted to move on from the controversy surrounding his burning hatred for elderly widows, but admitted: "Yesterday was not a gay day for me.

    "But I know how to remember all the things on the conveyor belt, in good times and bad. Of course, there will be cuddly toys and fondue sets, but anyone can remember those.

    "I will also remember the 24 piece dinner service, the radio cassette player and the xylophone. This is not a time to take a risk with someone who won't be able to remember the xylophone."

    He added: "Nick Clegg seems like a nice boy. But I am the one who is fancy."

    In his closing remarks Mr Cameron insisted: "This is not a time for shutting doors, unless there happens to be a foreign gentleman waiting patiently on the front step with his 14 children and his great uncle Ahmed."

    He added: "I want every family in this country to have the chance to guess what the survey says. Opportunity is knocking, it is time to open that door, play our cards right and create a great society where even our pets can win prizes."

    Off to vote in few mins. Unfortunately I don't think we have a candidate for the Monster Raving Loony Party in our constituency so will have to choose from the other loonies...........mmmmmmm who didn't fleece us as much as the others:wacko:
    Might stay up for the first results (can't usually stay up beyond 10.30 so this will be a really late night;)).
    Looking forward to waking up to a 'new' dawn tomorrow - with a stuffed economy:butcher:
