The Bad News Is That There Is No Good News!
Like most people in the UK I woke up this morning ready to see who had won the May 6th 2010 General Election. And as expected it was fairly close and as many analysts had predicted the result is a hung parliament. Neither the Labour Party or the Conservatives have won enough seats to gain an overall majority.
And the Liberal Democrats, ah well that is enough said about them and Nick Clegg and how well they have done. The word HYPE springs to mind.
At the time of writing the Liberal Democrats may have only a pitiful 53 seats, but they have become King Makers, they hold the balance of power in the palm of their grubby hands. Nick Clegg has the power to bring down the Government. Nick Clegg said this morning that, “it is for the Tories to prove they are capable of running the country in the public interest”. What Clegg forgot to say is what can you do for me and my party to gain my support.
The British public have voted for change and in my mind just as David Cameron so eloquently said a few hours ago, the Labour Party have lost their mandate to Govern. But I would also like to add the conservatives haven’t exactly gained it either. The prospect of having an Eton and Oxford educated posh twat such as David Cameron looking after the rich and elite of this country will have them cracking open the Champers this morning.
So what happens now? I guess the the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have to sit down and stop trying to stab each other in the back, stop shouting obscenities at each other and lock themselves away in a darkened room with their trousers legs rolled up, something most of them know all about and start using some common sense. Can they do it, well I reckon they can manage most of it apart from the talking common sense part.
What I do know is that Britain is a country that is bordering on bankruptcy, that the European Union doesn’t’ work, there are millions of illegal immigrants that need to be kicked out of the UK, crime is rife all over this country, unemployment has reached a scary place and the rich are getting richer and the working classes and poor are struggling more than ever.
We are in a grim place. How can it be that so many kids are getting shot and stabbed to death every week in London, where has it all went wrong. Go and talk to any teacher who has been involved in the teaching profession for 20 or 30 years and they will give it to you straight about the monumental decline in the behaviour of school children. Just the other day I watched a 13 year girl push her mum on Kilburn High Road and tell her to fuck off. If I done that as a kid and I must say I never did, I would have got a lash from my mum then one from my dad later on. And tell you something I would have deserved it and expected it, but the human rights brigade have got this country bordering on the abyss.
And of course how could I forget a couple of never ending wars in Iraqi and Afghanistan that are costing the British public billions of pounds but making so much money for mainly American companies who are so happily profiteering from those hell holes. What I’m trying to get my head around is that around the Yanks have spent at least $250 billion and us British have spent around £12 billion so far in Afghanistan, but that hell hole of a country is still seemingly supplying 90% of the entire world’s heroin market, how the fuck can that be possible.
So what is going to happen next? Who knows! We will just have to wait for the back room deals to be made to see what happens next. What I do know is that Gordon Brown has to do the honourable thing and tender his resignation. He must go, that is not debatable. Get lost Brown, go off and make lots of money like your weasel like buddy Tony Blair.
A couple of quotes that I found just a wee bit of contrast regarding the fact that we have a hung parliament. Labour’s Glenda Jackson, who has been re-elected in Hampstead and Kilburn says the likely hung parliament is “extremely perturbing and disturbing not only for my party but my country”. Just what you would expect from Labour and someone that lacks vision! Former Lib Dem press chief Olly Grender says it is “bizarre” that UK pundits view hung parliaments as so unusual because they are common in most of Europe. Is Glenda saying that the Labour party are not capable of co-operation and doing whatever it takes for the greater good of the United Kingdom.
What I do know is that the Conservatives have the largest amount of seats and the most amount of votes. So I guess the ball is in their court. The public have voted that they lost faith in Labour and that they don’t trust them to get the UK back on track…..Gordon Brown only got around 29% of the vote, which is a complete disaster. Labour came second and that cannot be disputed!

I agree, i am just glad Cameron didn’t win outright his smugness now knows that the public don’t trust any of them anymore,
It’s amazing how two parties that are miles apart will do to grab power i really hope they do have the nations interest at heart.
.-= steve´s last blog ..Pop Charts Gone By =-.
Whatever happens I have a feeling that what’s in power now, can and will be better than what Labour became…And that is coming from someone that has never voted anything but Labour and SNP all my life and I couldn’t bring myself to vote for them this time around. They have lost the plot…
The Labour party have turned London and much of the UK into little Poland/Eastern Europe…! I’m not a racist or bigot, but why was Britain the first European country to open their borders in such a radical way. That had a huge impact on schools, the NHS and jobs…And they wouldn’t admit their huge mistakes on immigration until they had been kicked out of power. They did the same thing with liberalisation of the postal markets, which truly fucked up the Royal Mail..!
Hopefully this will be a wake up call for Labour to get back to listening to what it is that the public actually want…But I doubt it…!
