That's why I don't understand why so many people had problems. I knew that due to work and various other commitments, I would not be able to vote yesterday evening or for most of the day. So, I went in and voted before work. My local Polling station was nice and quiet at 7:45am.

The Monarch has some powers, I heard last night, this morning (can't remember when as I was up til 4am). that King George V stepped in in 1924.

Yes, that would be becuase they run it spending money they haven't got.
So now history repeats itself that Labour have spent, spent, and spent some more so we're all on the edge of a financial abyss.
Hard choices for any government, I'm keen to see if Cameron and Clegg can work something out. For a couple of years at least.
I think if it went to re-election Lib-Dem would lose out even more.

I don't think not liking Thatcher would make her a Labour supporter. I have never heard the rumour that she is, to be honest, but I cannot see her siding with Labour, in opposition to a party made up of old Etonians.

For all your fine words, how disappointing to find that underneath it all you're just a class-warring old dinosaur. Pity.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
watching and reading the news, I get the feeling that NC is going to form a coalition with the party that sticks it tongue up his backside the furtherist

Apparently some "senior" Tories are criticizing Cameron's campaign and saying that won't do deals with the Lib Dems.
