WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Red]

Murdoch is a prick.

 

[Luca]

just back from voting labour, can't believe how many people there were, even if this election has 3 weak candidates it's has surely made British democracy stronger as it had revived the publics interest.

 

[David01]

you don't have to vote?
here, in Belgium, it's the law
we have to vote even if we don't want to or risk a fine

 

[Enron]

That's not much of a democracy.

 

[Red]

It's entirely up to the individual here.

I think only about 60% of the electorate bothered in the last couple of General Elections.

 

[David01]

That's not much of a democracy.

well, you are free to vote for whoever you want
but we have a lot of parties and because a lot of people dislike politicians, they vote for someone who will never be ellected
for instance we have a rascist party who are blocked by all the others so they will never be in the government
a lot of people vote for them, not because they are racist but because they want to send a signal to all the others
voting should be a right not an obligation

 

[The Curr]

Only about a third of people voted here the last time IIRC.

 

[Red]

A third of the population or a third of the electorate?

 

[Bjerknes]

You guys are blowing up the global financial markets!

First Exit Poll from the BBC:

307 to the Tories

255 to Labour

59 to the Lib Dems

29 to other parties

 

[Bjerknes]

CNBC claiming that the conservatives did better than expected and they might have won.

The Pound appears to have found some support on the news.

 

[Red]

Most polls seem to think Tories have come up a bit short of an overall majority, but may well have enough to govern as a minority government, if they can form an alliance with a smaller party or two.

 

[Bjerknes]

Scratch that. The Pound is getting assfucked again now.

 

[Red]

That was always likely, given the markets seem to be terrified of us having a hung Parliament.

 

[Red]

And the results are in.

The voting is closed and The Upper Class Twit of the Year Award goes to:

 

[The Curr]

So how did the Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party do?

 

[Ahmed]

who won?
