OOh, go Cheltenham!

The tension is unbearable, its worse than waiting for exit polls/results/swings etc last night.

Thought Gordon was excellent (and have never really been a fan)

Nervous about what Hamface will be like though...

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 07/05/2010 14:03

It's not over though- just because Clegg speaks to Hameron first, doesn't mean he will go with him, surely he will want to hear what everyone offers?

LordVoldemandy · 07/05/2010 14:03

Sooo whilst GB and Darling are taking care of business with the other adults....I wonder who is sliding up the back stairs at LibDem House?

Sllllide slink slivvvvvvver

Hassled - I was thinking the same thing! How can he still be going?

Beachcomber · 07/05/2010 14:03

He sounded yesterday like he had a cold, i reckon he's doing it on sudafed and cough syrup (poor lamb).

Francagoestohollywood · 07/05/2010 14:02

Oh hang on, I found it on the guardian website

Hassled · 07/05/2010 14:00

Do you think they've given Dimbleby speed? How is he still functioning?

Hassled · 07/05/2010 13:59

I don't know what I think anymore . Clegg is putting it in First Past The Post terms, isn't he - Cameron has most seats, hence should get first dibs. But that's bollocks if you look at it in PR/%age terms, which is what Clegg should be all about. So yes, you're right and I was wrong - Clegg needs to hold out for PR.

Francagoestohollywood · 07/05/2010 13:59

what did GB say? heeeeelp

Agree with MmeLindt - Tories look strong because they have won the most seats under the current unfair system.

Under PR, LibDems would have more than double the number of seats they have.

Hameron will try to pretend they have won when in effect the public have shown (perhaps unconsciously) how rubbish the current system is.

'The Tories have 37% of the vote. That means that 63% of the British public did not vote for them.

Labour and Lib Dem have over 50% between them.'
exactly MmeLindt

to me it doesn't look like much of a mandate for the tories to run things

course that's not the way the murdoch press will spin it...

If Clegg doesn't go for the electoral reform he should be strung up by his own party.

This is the time for him to stand up and be counted. Lets see how big his balls are.

Gordon was good I think - putting the wants, demands and needs of the electorate as priority. This is of course his duty as PM.

Hameron has to be careful not to sound like he wants it for his party and himself and not the people - will be hard to reconcile that with no electoral reform. Would be very contradictory IMleftieO.

LaurieFecktheToriesCake · 07/05/2010 13:52

wasn't Howard sidling up to Clegg.

Reminded me of a dirty old man in the dark at the cinema

MmeLindtChocBrownies · 07/05/2010 13:52

We are actually busy running the country here, do you mind?

He's such a dignified man. He's really done a brilliant job to keep things this close, after 13 years and the recession, it's some acheivement.
