MmeLindtChocBrownies · 07/05/2010 10:43

Ok, I can forgive you if you push through electoral reform.

almost

MmeLindtChocBrownies · 07/05/2010 10:43

fuck

theyoungvisiter · 07/05/2010 10:42

sophable - I agree.

And I really want to hug all the married middle/upper-earners who voted lib-lab.*

WELL DONE YOU.

A victory for compassion over self-interest.

*I hugged DH who fits that bracket

I feel so let down that Labour didn't reform the electoral system when they actually had a chance.
We could really do with a revolution

wubblybubbly · 07/05/2010 10:38

What about John Denham? Not high profile enough maybe?

ImSoNotTelling · 07/05/2010 10:37

I think I'm going to go back to bed for a bit

Heathcliffscathy · 07/05/2010 10:37

you know this is a huge victory for the left really:

all the scaremongering about economic meltdown hasn't galvanised the country to vote tory at all!

the conservatives thought they would romp home a month or two ago!

auberginesrus · 07/05/2010 10:37

Yes very pleased about the greens too ISNT

So pleased about the greens in brighton though

nearlytoolate · 07/05/2010 10:36

Personally I'd like Harriet, as deputy, to be the caretaker leader.

MmeLindtChocBrownies · 07/05/2010 10:36

Lol at the BBC doing the split screen thing with the pictures of Nick's car. Ooooh, look. It is a car.

Am tired. Hope they hurry up

auberginesrus · 07/05/2010 10:35

The voice of reason on BBC News is David Steele

wmmc that just happened here

I changed channels to find nick clegg coming out of a house and making a speech

What I got was laulau from waybulloo come out of a little hut and annouce that she liked sparkly things

DH and I nodded sagely

nearlytoolate · 07/05/2010 10:35

Leningrad I would like to see fundamental electoral reform - fixed term parliaments, elected second chamber, some proportional system of voting. But I just don't think that is a majority view in this country - and in particular we haven't had a clear electoral mandate for ANY type of reform. So even if we could get to having a referendum, I'm not convinced we'd win it.

tbh, even the fact that the Tory have missed a majority makes me happy. Could not bear to watch them celebrating.

Who would be a possible successor for Brown, if he were to step down? Is there anyone in discussion?
