There is the problem, you voted for Cameron but a bunch of people did not. There was no clear winner and the only reason people think there was is because they are confusing democracy with a game where the first person to cross the line wins. The Tories have no right to form a government on there own, they need to compromise, and we're not sure what they offered yet. Besides they are asking for a referendum on reform, polls seem to agree it's popular, not to change it right away.

The pound is going south and the rest of the economy will follow it while he tries desperately to get the best deal for HIM, not the country, HIMSELF. I don't look forward to this every couple of years with a stupid PR system, so that the LibDems can always finish 3rd, yet hold the winners to ransom. The only reason the LibDems are pushing it is because it's the only way they will ever have any power and they'll use it to always water down the actual winners.

The reason they are doing it is because the system is geared towards a two-party system whereas we are not a two party country. So a lot of the electorate gets shafted.
