Who did you vote for?

Nobody, although according to another poster on this forum I'm probably not mature enough to vote anyway so it was probably a good thing ;)




Before I get castigated for not voting, I was delayed at work. That is the only reason I didn't.

I also voted Lib Dem. It's interesting to note that although they are miles behind Labour in terms of seats (and look like finishing with fewer seats than the previous election), in terms of percentage of the vote they are as close to Labour as Labour are to the Tories, and have a higher percentage than they had at the last election.

They won my constituency (gaining a seat from Labour) so I'm happy I voted for them, especially as there were only 300 votes in it at the end.

Looks like the Tories will form the next government then, pity about the Lib Dems after all the hype that Nick Clegg generated it looks like his party's policies didn't connect with the electorate, probably the loony illegal immigrant amnesty and the slack prison sentencing idea. What a let down for them to fail at the last post so miserably! :lol:

The next couple of days/weeks looks likely to be even more intriguing than the election itself, Nick Clegg as expected holds the key to power but which way will he jump, to Labour who will offer him more or less anything that he asks for but who even with his support can't make the required majority to form a viable government. Or to the Tories who will offer him very little in return for his support other than a few minor government positions? In my opinion Gordon Brown should resign and let the Tories form a minority government who will then have to rely on the support of other parties on a policy by policy basis to get all of their bills through parliament. This will in fact lead to more liberal policies getting through and hold the Tory government back from taking draconian measures. How refreshing will it be to see a government in power who can't just push through unpopular, divisive policies driven by party dogma. In short if our elected leaders do as we expect them to do when we vote for them and work for the best interest of the people, a hung parliament could work out to be the best thing for all of us. Of course if the parties do as they have in the past and all disagree with each other for the hell of it then we will be back at the ballot box in less than 12 months time. :lol:
