I respect Brown but he didn't earn the right to be at the top, he got the position by default - and that's why I've never liked the fact that he was PM

Please explain this to me.

How did he not earn his right to be at the top?

[Mr Q]

We don't have a presidential system though! We vote according to parties, so surely it is up to the party who is their leader, that's the way I see it.

Because the people didn't vote for him

maybe to say he didn't deserve it is wrong, but he got to the top around the system

[Steven]

Can somebody update me.

Last I heard we were heading for a hung parliament and Brown was going to attempt to form one with the Lib Dems.

Now I hear Cameron is also interested in forming with the lib dems. However, Brown forming with them still doesnt give them a majority vote.

But you don't vote for a Prime Minister.

what don't people understand about this, seriously?

the point of this electoral system is that you aren't influenced by the personality or good looks of the leader of a party, but by the qauality of your LOCAL candidate and the party's policies. It is the political party's decision who they choose to lead them.

But if you add Lab+Lib+SNP then it's a better strong hold than just Con+Lib as at least the Lab+Lib+SNP can work together. Whilst the Lib+Con is just snakey sh*t.

i dont see clegg working with the conservatives, they cant give the electoral reform referendum that lib dem need to become a party that ever has a chance of winning an election.

dunno tho, u could argue that two defeated parties teaming up to in order to essentially keep labour in power is undemocratic. or u can also argue, that the ppl have, by not giving any party a majority, essentially voted for a situation which enables electoral reform.

im hoping for a lib/lab coalition, a public referendum and a proper 3 party election in a couple of years. the lib dems flopped hard again because of our system imo, lots of ppl including me would have voted lib dem if we had proportional representation.

Only thing I would agree with u but England being england will dabble their hands in as many pies as possible.

[Mr Q]

Nick Clegg should say he wants Lib Dem ministers in that government, starting with Vince Cable as the chancellor.

Or

I think they should go with the full blown coalition, get labour in.

Cameron as Prime-Minister

Vince Cable as Chancellor

Miliband as Foreign Sec.

[Steven]

Vince Cable is the most qualified man to be chancellor.

Are you telling me Vince Cable wouldn't waltz into the Chancellor job when the only competition is George Osborne?

seriously tho why is she wearing a purple bin bag

shes pregnant

[Mr Q]

Clearly a fantasy, politicians wouldn't be able to act like grown ups and run a country.

And Cable is the best chancellor, tbh. 2nd best would be Brown, would gladly demote him back there in a fantasy world.

[The Somalian]

If you know anyone who tried to vote last night and was unable to during that madness with door being locked tell them they are entitled to £750 composation for their human rights being breached

[YFSD]

That's f*cked

750 >> me voting

[Michel Kane]

That's f*cked

750 >> me voting

You do realise, that over the course of 4 years, not voting could cost you alot more than £750?

[The Somalian]

very true I know I will be taking some hits soon and it will be more than £750 over the long run kinda very pissed about it

[Uncle Man]
