I'd rather the country went back to the polls and provide the Tories with a clear majority government than being held to ransom by Clegg. If the public are so strongly in favour of PR they would've voted Liberal in the first place...maybe the Tories will cop out and meet them half way by promising a national referendum.

Other things aside, I was really pleased to see the myth of the "significance" - as insisted on by the various infatuated print and broadcast media - of the so-called "live debates" blown out of the water. It seems after all that they did Clegg no good at all and had minimjal-to-no effect on people's voting on the day.

Not really, SimonM. I think that, had there only been one debate, then you would have seen more of an effect for the LibDems. The LibDems support had been slowly ebbing away in the weeks following their peak just after the first debate. It gave the Lab/Tory papers and the election machines time to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.


On the other hand, I think Cameron's rather solid showing in the last debate gave the Tories a late extra couple of percent.


And Gordon's rather scary attempt at smiling during all three debates put the bejeesus up everyone! If they ever want to do a remake of 'Psycho', they could do worse than cast Mr Brown's smile.

You overlook what a small proportion of the electorate actually watched the things. The 1st got 9 million - big vurioisdity factor? - the 2nd only 4 million. I venture to suggest that the vast najority of viewers were the more politically well-informed and/or already decided. I see nothing to persuade me that the final voting figures/seats for the three main parties would have been any different had there been no debates at all

All this uncertainty... except if any of the people mentioned on this thread become PM, I think I'd want to leave too!


The UK has enjoyed a lovely meal (dessert wine and chocs included) and the bill has now arrived. So living in these 'last days', we will all need to survive as best we can.


I've got an air rifle and a fishing rod and luckily the mackerel season is upon us ;-)

Is there....


Someone called "Peater"..?


( how weird was that, I was thinking "andre" & the commentator on "match of the day" said "on comes AndreArshavin" )



Because I can't think of one, so it might be nice this time to have a Prime Minister called Peater ( spelt the unusual way too )




Just for a change, like

      If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
