UK General Election - Oh, where do I start?

Well, way to go Britain, really did it this time. It's blindingly obvious to anyone with eyes that Gordon Brown and his detestable government should go ... but of course he won't. Just like Ted Heath (Tory Party) in 1974 he won't go. Instead he'll have to be physically removed from the premises (akin to clinging on with his fingertips to the door of No 10) but he just won't accept that he has LOST this election. Of course the Tory Party won - not with a workable majority but win they did, and they should now be allowed to form the next government, except that with a minority government trying to pass any of it’s legislation is so difficult it's nigh on impossible.

So where do we go from here? David Cameron the Tory leader is trying to garner some sort of agreement with the Liberal Democrats (or Lib Dems for short) to see if they can get together and form a kind of majority government. Difficulties here are vast and some are insurmountable as both parties policies are at different ends of the spectrum, so getting any sort of deal together will be interesting to see; a kind of ‘who blinks first’ scenario - well, that's what we're up against. The WORST thing that could happen is Gordon Brown and the failed Labour Government teaming up with the Lib Dems. Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader should be careful if he does this because he will be tarred with the same brush as Labour. The people of this country wanted a hung parliament if you believe the media, perhaps they didn't fully understand the ramifications of getting one, more Brown? - Please God No!!!! The people of Britain sent a clear message to Brown, that he is finished as PM and he should go and go with good grace, but like Heath in 1974 he will hang on as long as he can.

The Lib Dems want a reform of the voting system and given the ridiculous Banana Republic Style scale of Thursday's debacle is something people are waking up to, but whereas in Europe coalition governments are the norm, they are not the norm in Britain. Personally, I feel this will be a disaster, as with most of the Lib Dems policies (Illegal immigrant amnesty, scrapping trident, the nuclear deterrent, reform the voting system, enforcing the disastrous Euro on Britain etc al). These policies are damaging for the country but that doesn't matter I feel, as the Lib Dems want these changes and actually think they are good [shaking head here, you just can’t make this up]. The Tories on the other hand will have to give way on a lot of their red line policies like no to any more powers going to Europe, NO to the Euro and No to scrapping Trident, No also to an illegal immigrant amnesty. See the problems? What a shame UKIP (the tiny United Kingdom Independence Party, a good idea but too small to do any good) felt it necessary to poll seats in parts of the country where the Tories would have won those seats and thereby getting closer to a majority government. Did they set out to deliberately undermine the ‘integrity’ of Britain – who knows? All this nonsense makes me seriously question the mentality of these parties deliberately out to scupper the chances of the Tories and leaving us with - God Forbid - more of Brown. Brown (the only UNELECTED PM TWICE) and the Labour government are all for these policies of the Lib Dems, so have a guess how much longer Britain will survive. I would expect Britain to become a region of Europe at some point. No more national identity, no more independence, instead to be ruled by Europe – why did we fight and win two world wars to keep our country safe from this take over, all those lives appear to have been sacrificed in vain; it is a crying shame to see this once great country of ours lying tattered and bruised in the gutter of the world.

The Lib Dems, whilst demanding their policies are non negotiable should be reminded that they came third, they have no hope of getting any of their policies passed in their current position, so it is well worth their while to try and support the Tories in some way. Please don’t foist any more Brown on us, Britain cannot afford it. There are of course other parties 'eager and willing to do a deal' notably Plaid Cymru in Wales and the SNP of Scotland, no doubt at the expense of England (as now) they will be wanting more concessions for their respective countries but it will be England alone who pays for it.   All we can do now is wait and see who says what to whom, and what happens as a result.

So great outcome Britain. Perhaps with the debacle of the voting shambles, 14 year old children getting voting papers ‘by mistake,’ people denied their votes because they arrived too late to vote, others queuing up for hours to be told they can’t vote because it’s past 10 o’clock, (note to the jobsworths who closed the polls dead on 10pm, in other third world countries, they keep the polls open till everyone has voted), postal voting being opened up to 'anyone who wants one' and all the fraud that may have been going on in that area perhaps we should be renaming the GBR of Britain from Great Britain to Great Banana Republic; sadly that is what we have now become. Sad also that for the first time in Britain’s history we have had Commonwealth Inspectors ‘monitoring’ the voting system, this is shameful because they only ever do that in underdeveloped (not developed and supposedly democratic) countries, and Banana Republic states … oh, wait ...
