Not that you'd know it from these forums, but the UK has just got a new prime minister. We had an election on thursday and no-one won an overall majority. the lib dems flirted with the torys and labour until Gordon Brown did the hounarable thing in any love triangle and walked away. Rather than be on their own the lib dems and torys have gone for a marriage of convenience and moved in to number 10. On arriving there the first thing the new government did was to anounce a change to the rules on a vote of no confidence. Whereas previously only one extra vote was needed it now needs a 55% majority. As the whole point of the first past the post system was that the 1 extra vote was all that was needed and the Torys reluctance to go for PR I can only conclude that we are being stiched up from day one.

I heard it on the news yesterday.Seems like America isn't the only country tired of the Libtards.From what I have heard he is the first Conservative in that country since the 1940's.
