I for one never actually hated Brown, for one thought he did well to nationalise the banks. Overall it was just the timing of when he came into power and castatrophic problems that overwhelmed.

Give it 6 months before we'll all cry for another Labour government.

Apparently, there are 6-7 Lib Dems in the Cabinet.

William Hague will definitely be Foreign Secretary.

Chancellor...George Osborne isn't the best, but he's sure as hell better than Cable, and he and Cameron are good friends.

Home Secretary- I think this will go to Clegg.

Cable will get Business Secretary or Secretary to the Treasury, probably the latter: Kenneth Clarke is Business Secretary.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure the Lib Dems will get Wales and Scotland, and then a couple of the sidey positions.

Would David Cameron handled the situation any better?

STV is complicated, but I can somewhat understand it. Rank candidates, they get votes based on their rank, multiple seats for a district. Not great, but not too bad.

Alternative Vote...seriously, what the HELL is it? It seems to have the same candidate ranking, but after that...what happens? What I thought was AV seems to be STV, in actual fact.

yeah, until Labour started talking about it, I had never heard anyone call AV "Proportional" (largely as its not, heck it can even be LESS proportional than fucking FPTP)



As long as the Queen excepts (which she will) labour are out.

the end of Gordon then.



Lib-con government then, most likely. David Cameron, officially the UK Prime minister.



I can only hope the Lib Dems got many concessions and will hold the Tories to account.

We can only hope.
