So David Cameron and is bitch Nick Clegg are going to run the country:mad:

Time to look for a new home:(

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Just take pleasure in the fact that he has gone. I am now going to have a :beer:

Now the real work begins to clean up the mess that Labour left behind.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Fair play to him really, it could not have been an easy call to make.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

:wavey:

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Right, Nick Clegg hasn't done anything to be judged on so far, but he's Cameron's bitch already? That just about sums up what's wrong in British politics imo. This tribalism is pointless and counterproductive.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Yeah trying to sort the mess the Tories left in the first place

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

B.I.G.O.T. - Brown Is Gone On Tuesday.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Nice speech from Brown. Regardless of what you think about any Prime Minster I think you need to respect the office and the service of each person who has sat in it. It was nice to see him applauded by some of the press outside as well, like it was when Blair was by the commons.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

In fact its a sign of the way Labour and there supporters ran this last election.

Agreed

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Cameron will do as all previous tory prime ministers have done before him, he will screw us into the ground in revenge for them not being in power since 1997, and many of them will be baying for blood because of 1997.

Anything that can be sold off will be and most of Cameron's ex school mates will be in his cabinet ( apart from a few positions for Clegg and company ),and not a one will have a grasp on reality with regards to the oiks who were foolish enough to tug their forelocks and vote for them.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

That word will become famous

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

i'm starting to sense a few sour grapes from the losers of this election .

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

I would be one of them :LOL:

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

I knew you would be first.:D:D:D

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Nope. It's an attitude that's all too common in these forums, and it's also apparent in your post. I believe it's a direct result of FPTP and its seesaw politics.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Its been a day long coming, I am now enjoying the pleasure of knowing i was watching this as it played out in front of us.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Look back a few posts and you will see plenty already.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

How can you make that statement?

Nobody technically won.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Right now, it sums up why Labour couldn't stitch up a deal with the Lib Dems today, despite the obvious preference for a Lib-Lab deal from many of the Lib Dem rank'n'file.

A large number of Labour MPs in England loathe the Liberal Democrats. And a large number of Labour MPs in Scotland loathe the SNP. And have been saying so, loudly. Not helpful when you would need both in order to form a stable coalition.

It seems to be as I always believed: some sort of accommodation between the Tories and Lib Dems is, and always was, the only game in town. It was always plain that just too many significant Labour figures were set against a deal and only the desperate clique surrounding G. Brown seemed determined to pursue it. Of course, were it not for the frenzied degree of wishful thinking emanating from the BBC, that might have been clearer throughout yesterday's, and this morning's, ongoing political negotiations.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Oh yes :)

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Crumbs, he's resigning from the Commons as well. Cue the first by-election of the new Parliament ...

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

I doubt anything will happen yet. I've no doubt it will happen though.

How about giving the Liberals a chance?

A mess that Labour had 13 YEARS to sort out, and singularly failed to do so. IMO this means they were either incompetent to govern or in it for other reasons.
LOL.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Nobody technically won - but the Tories actually won. ;)

---------- Post added at 19:47 ---------- Previous post was at 19:47 ----------

But it's a Scottish Labour seat - pretty foregone conclusion there, imho.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

2 resignations from the prime minister's position within one electoral term...

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Oh. I agree, and this outcome is definitely the preferred outcome (if only due to the numbers). I'm also hoping that having a coalition will go some way towards reducing the tribal element in British politics. It'll be great to see them work together rather than just slag each other off. If they can manage that, that is....

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Wonder how long it will take for Gordon to realise they are in fact applauding his resignation not his achievements...

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

All I can say is Yes! He's gone!

I bet Jeremy Clarkson will be happy. I know I am.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Hey ... this means Hattie Harperson is interim leader of the opposition. LOL.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

:clap: :LOL:

Excellent

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

i wonder how history will remember him ?

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

I truly hope this will happen. It could be a partnership for a long time

You wouldn't see labour back in government for generations. :tu:

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Just for posterity.

Thank you, and goodnight.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

The irony is, the possibility of perpetual coalition between Labour and the Lib Dems is one of the reasons so many Tories are avidly opposed to electoral reform. There is another reason why the Lib Dems have to be seen to make this work: The Tories need to see that it can work, and it can work with them in power.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Of course, for a Con/LibDem arrangement to work, 3/4s of the LibDem MPs (57) and 3/4s of the Federal Executive (36) have to agree (so 15 MPs or 9 FedEx's could still scupper the deal).

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

So does anyone want to form a collation and overthrow the mods?

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

No they didn't, if they had won they wouldn't have to go grovelling to the Lid Dems

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

like brown did

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Gets my vote :Sprint:

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

News just in: the final score has just gone up on the board, and Her Brittanic Majesty has just got off the phone with Dave to invite him over for a chat and a possible job offer. Dave, in case you hadn't noticed, is a Tory.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

On the contrary many believe it will be a gift to Labour at the next election, especially as the new government will be making lots of job cuts.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

As the biggest idiot there ever was.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Plus the Queen might not wan't a coalition government, and ask for another election, which as Monarch she is entitled to do.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

I'm watching Sky News, i can't help but laugh at the "HD SkyCopter" haha.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

That would require a lot more than an election. This is a dictatorship rather than a democracy. (dictatorship defined as A type of government where absolute sovereignty is allotted to an individual or a small clique.)

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

So Cameron isn't really going to be Prime Minister, then?

Must be a new definition of "not winning" I hadn't come across before...:D

Has anyone got gordy's phone number, only I have a vacancy for an afternoon cashier on Thursday & Friday. :)
