Could not agree more

One thing I really hope does happen is that there is no one party with loads of power. I'd love to see the end of parties being able just to push through any old legislation without there ever actually being a proper debate.

This whole power sharing thing could be the best thing that has happened in ages. In order to get policies through they will actually have to present a compelling argument to get the necessary support. It may take a bit longer, but overall I am looking forward to that.

I wont miss Brown

But Mandleson is 'box office', if you like politics that is! I'd really miss the Prince of Darkness.

Campbell, well depends on who's spin you want to believe...

A coalition, especially an idiotic 'rainbow' one, is an absolute disaster. I'm inclined to say I would rather have a Labour government with a majority than either of the two coalitions we may be lumbered with (and I was hoping this time we would finally see the back of Labour).
Coalition means bribes (they have started already with Labour's death bed conversion regarding PR), back room deals and an inability to make quick decisions as everybody has a different agenda. Government by committee will just eat up time and money.

You missed Ed ***** off your list. He must surely be the most objectionably toady individual you can think of.

Now each party leader has shown their real colours , a second election should be initiated immediately.
Whatever deals are being contrived will not work.
Labour were voted out - They lost 100 seats ffs , yet that grubby man Brown is not budging.
Liberals also lost seats and Clegg appears to be willing to get into bed with either of the 2 major parties - yes there are only 2 parties to consider
The conservatives will give the country what the Tories ever do , but at least there will be some direction . Even prominent labour members are giving the tories a level of support.
Then again the Queen could and can command an election.

I agree with the above.

At the moment there is a threat that we wont see the backs of any of them.

You do realise that each party is made up of hugely diverse interest groups and even within a single party all of this goes on directed by the Party Chairman, the Whips, the party executive, the back-bench committees.

Any piece of legislation by a single party in majority is already a series of back room deals and bribes.

Mandleson and Campbell make me have a little sick up into my mouth when they come on television. Although when I see Brown trying to smile I makes me feel dizzy!

How do you feel about a man who has been sacked twice for dishonesty being made a lord?

I'll be glad to see the back of the whole Labour shower


The look on Jackie Smith's face when she realised she'd lost was the moment of this election for me

It is really cruel to laugh at other people's misfortune, but


Was a highlight for me too, along with Broooon getting the boot.

Nah, the moment of the election was Paxman interviewing Lembit Opik just after he had lost his seat and asking him if this was the consequence of the whole Cheeky girl affair.

What a hoot!
