Have you always been a Conservative voter, arista?

Electoral reform + new election, but I'll definitely settle for a Lib/Con coalition, provided, at the very least, a referendum on electoral reform is granted.

Yeah, but they didnt get the majority of seats, they fell short of getting the amount of seats needed, hence them not leading the country

I will, but what does that prove? Nothing really, since they technically lost, note the word technically, and not the world literally

I'm hoping that whoever does take No10 that the libdems get a good deal out of it, I'd like to see a fair few of their proposals and policies in action.

'Right...just curious why 2 posters...at the same time decided to pick out MY vote and criticize... take your pick from below of everyone who said the same thing. Just pretty annoying.

And I don't really know how hung parliament works anyways, I voted on what would be my best scenario...'


Vicky Millions Voted
you are not alone.

This is the problem
its simple maths

Labour and Lib do not have enough seats
so they can not take over.

Conservative and LibDem do have enough seats.


And Today we have found out that they are both Working it Out.

So David will be our New PM soon.

And some LibDems will be part of the Conservative -LibDem Deal.

Now Enid said she will leave this Nation.

Please Vicky say you will stay
we need you.
