Not necessarily, a LibDem/Labour coalition is equally likely, even thought the whole situation is very weird.

but what if a Lab/LibDem coalition still doesn't get a majority? a sort of weird minority coalition?

 

[Kowak]

fucking hell, vine has to be on something to still be going strong like this. or these are actually holodeck vines, or there are clones

 

[Veidt]

They've been in power 13 years.

eventually everything is their fault.

Ain't that the truth.:lol

 

[Jex]

Who would even want this job? What a poisoned chalice to inherit, no mandate to govern and a financially crippled country which will force deeply unpopular cuts that will haunt their party for a generation. Brown and Cameron should be fighting over who doesn't get the job :lol

:lol Oh to be a politician...

but what if a Lab/LibDem coalition still doesn't get a majority? a sort of weird minority coalition?

It would certainly make everything incredibly awkward!

I wonder what made Scotland so massively Labour this time around...

 

[industrian]

So to all the Gaffers that voted lib dem, do you feel like your vote was wasted ?

FUCK NO.

An excellent question, and undoubtedly yes.

Who I vote for next time depends on what system the election is under, which is why I'm rooting for a Lab/Lib coalition, and the promised electoral reform that follows.

With the Tories, I get nothing. As do the rest of Britain's poor.

 

[industrian]

Don't check the financial markets. The pound is falling like a rock.

This is my answer.

Don't check the financial markets. The pound is falling like a rock.

To be fair, financial markets hate uncertainty and this is probably the most uncertain "what we gonna do now" outcome possible.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Don't check the financial markets. The pound is falling like a rock.

That tends to happen when the entire country finds itself adrift.

 

[Varion]

I see my decision to move my Mario Galaxy 2 import preorder from credit card to immediate Paypal payment was a good one!

 

[scotcheggz]

Do you guys honestly feel your votes were wasted? You should feel proud of who you voted for. What might have happened if you didnt vote LD?

 

[Jex]

I'm so glad I didn't stay up to watch this, it's pretty much the definition of inconclusive.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I'm honestly disgusted with the British electorate.

 

[industrian]

I don't get paid in pounds, so it's all gravy. If the pound stays below 1700 won then I'll be tempted to send some money home next week.

 

[Kowak]

Hopefully it falls heavy against the won, i want to send lots of money back

just realised that i will be screwed until payday when i have to use my english account money

 

[giga]

You guys should be happy that your currency is depreciating. Will help exports.

I want the dollar to fall.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Nothing. Conservatives have a cosy majority in my constituency. Screw FPTP.

 

[Xavien]

Ironic that the actual outcome pretty much represents the views of the British people (as in the "they're all as bad as each other and i just don't know who im gonna vote for").

 

[Varion]

Considering the amount of importing I do from Japan and the US, the pound going down costs me an absolute ton. So no, I'm not happy about it ;_;

 

[Withnail]

$/£ since midnight. FTSE is probably going to take a beating when it opens as well.

Keep in mind you're taking pounds with you. You're going to get screwed over.

1 pound was worth almost 2000 won when I came here last year. Right now it's sitting at 1686.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I'm honestly disgusted with the British electorate.

Of course if they voted your way, you'd be happy that they finally saw the light.:lol

LULz at the this doom and gloom stuff (not just from you), you'd think George W. Bush or John McCain won compared to a Arlen Spector or Henry M. Jackson. It's not that bad. I swear it seems like a collective suicide pact is coming up on the horizon. :lol

Wow, today might make a good day to get some stuff off Amazon UK like that Quatermass Serial Collection.

 

[scorcho]

the dollar falling means bupkis when China pegs its currency to the USD.

 

[Dambrosi]

Louise fucking Ellman would've had one more vote on her huge majority. In short, nothing :lol

 

[Jex]

Well he's not wrong. Cameron's not saying HE has a mandate to govern, he's just saying Labour has lost theirs, which is true.

Yeah you're right. I guess I was just hoping for a snappier soundbite, but it's been a long night for everyone. With the obscene amount of money conservatives spent on advertising they didn't think it would all be this close.

yeah i know, i get paid on june 10th, i am screwed till then.

 

[dalin80]

It looks like all the x-factor viewers who watched the TV debates realised that they arent actually old enough to vote so cleggs whole support has fallen off.

The amount of people ive meant who were going to vote for clegg 'becuase he looked good on tv' but had absolutely no idea about any of his policies made me want to go all purple-shirted-eye-stabber.

 

[industrian]

And I can't fucking believe I've been watching the Beeb for around 7 hours.

 

[navanman]

Any chance of Conservatives reaching 321 majority with DUP (8 seats) Northern Ireland alliance?

Sinn Fein seats don't count as they won't take the oath so that effectlvely takes 4 seats away.

 

[Kowak]

i have been on it since 9.55, was on sky from 9-9.55

It works for Berlusconi.

That'd be really cool if we made anything worth exporting!

But noooooo...Maggie Thatcher saw to the end of that in the 80's!

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

That's such crap they're even allowed to stand for the election. Makes me just want troll Gerry Adams and constantly call him a British subject.

Highly unlikely

its why i voted for berlusconi, that and he own AC Milan.

Beside Monthy Python there wasn't much since Hammer stopped making films to export even before Thatcher. :lol

We'll have that question answered for us once the seats are declared.

 

[giga]

Damn I forgot those bastards keep their currency aligned with ours. We can’t win if they depreciate themselves against us!

 

[jey_16]

i have been watching the online bbc stream since 10am (in Australia) and i have a Financial Theory test in about 2 hrs ....

 

[Kowak]

Mandy back with Paxo soon, looking forward to that.

 

[industrian]

Holy shit, did Paxman just say that Mandy will be on the BBC soon?

How do you feel about Tory and Labour nutjobs?

 

[scotcheggz]

This guy reminds me of Pob, remember that puppet that spouted water?

 

[Kowak]

he was in the studio with paxo earlier.

 

[industrian]

I hate this political doublespeak sometimes. This Tory dobber is like an answering machine.

I'm hoping George Galloway gets elected just so we can have Galloway vs. Paxman 2.

"I thrive on chaos and confusion"

 

[Mr. Sam]

Dimbleby: I thrive on chaos and confusion.

 

[killer_clank]

What a trooper Dimbleby is.

 

[Dambrosi]

"Not at all, I thriiiiiiiiiive on chaos...and confusion!"

I love you, Mr. Dimbelby, in the most platonic and respectful of fashions.

 

[Withnail]

What a legend.
