Depressed Lefty red eye - The morning after the night before

[Nymphadora]

Hello

Yay for Islington - was Lib Dem for nearly 12 years but down to a very slender Lib Dem majority - now 35-13 Labour!

Labour have done better elsewhere too - hopefully that will help resist Tory cuts - or Tory-Lib Dem coalition cuts.

Bratwurst Boris?

Biltong Boris?

Sorry PW, I realise you are trying to make serious points [puts on serious face]

it's on "discussions of the day" Proles (in fact they were very proud of this and have mentioned on the thread that the lefties were demoted from discussions of the day and replaced by Anxious Tories).

Gwan. You know you want to.

Pol - so that would mean an obvious majority for the Conservatives - so why are they anti electoral reform?

Gordon - I think they are anti reform because although they would be the majority party in a PR system, they would probably never again have a clear absolutely majority.

ATM the way the lefty vote is split between lib and lab, and the way the liberal vote is spread across the country, gives the Tories a v good chance of an outright majority.

PR would effectively stop that. That's my understanding of it, anyway.

Plus I think they are perhaps more ideologically attached to the constituency model anyway.

Not a workable majority BIWI - that's 316 (314 if you discount Sinn Fein) I think

sorry, shoudl have been "a clear absolute majority" - no idea where the rogue "ly" came from!

I think it was more that our thread kept filling up so MNHQ had to keep changing the link for discussions of the day

Also to be fair, the Tory reaction is arguably more interesting, since they are in a more ambiguous, unexpected position.

Tight pants, justa, and make sure he takes his painkillers - alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen.

And tell him not to do what MrBIWI did - not take the painkillers because he wanted to see how painful it really was when the anaesthetic wore off .... (twat!)

Might also be a good idea to get some arnica tablets to help with the bruising. MrBIWI's scrotum was a spectacular shade of blue/purple/yellow for about a week.

(Probably best not to tell MrJusta any of this!)

Former Conservative Party chairman and cabinet minister Lord Fowler says: "The public would be dismayed if they were to wake up on Monday morning and find that Gordon Brown had stayed in Downing Street as part of a Labour government supported by the Liberal Democrats."

But 64% of the public don't want a tory government. I think, Norman, you would find that 54% of the public would find a lib-lab government perfectly acceptable.

bookmarking. I have to catch up after bath and story-time.

y'know, fuckit, let the tories try and go it alone

and become really unpopular, and then let's have another election

out of interest, the OP on the GB is a megalomaniac thread has just compared GB to Hitler (triple )

OUch @ mrjusta and yikes.

I hope he is OK.

I wish they'd sort it.

DH and I aren't speaking

I just love the hair of the BBC 24 woman [Joanna someone?]

Evening
Just watched C4 news and they seemed very sure that we'll have Hamneggs for breakfast on Monday.

I don't want to do Atkins again.

Justabout - make Mr Justabout take a couple of days off work. My poor dh went back to work on the Monday and was pretty miserable.

checking in, but with no new thoughts atm. That was worth posting, wasn't it?

Poor mrjusta!
