the media works both ways

blair and labour wouldn't of got in so easy without the murdoch backed media,

whats happening now is a form of PR with a 1st past the post system,i don't see whats wrong with this,its just that the center/left aren't in the driving seat,so the lefties are upset about it,

don't kid yourself about the importance of the leader,labour will drop brown as soon as this is over

the fact is the tories got the most votes and seats out of any party however the left want to spin it

no-one is denying that last bit, nor can they.

you need 50% of the seats (and imo 50% of the vote) to have a majority.

if the Conservatives had won 50%+ of the vote, I would be upset as I dont like them, but I couldnt really complain.

and yes, I do think that Labour shouldnt have got a majority because they only had 36% of the vote.

You do know that Cameron got as many votes as Blair did for his LANDSLIDE win in 2001... and far more than Blair did in 2005?

yes, like I said, I think we should have had PR, but heck, I cant change the past.
