Its all down to Nick Clegg now, Spa. Many of his supporters will see it as a betrayal to throw his support behind the Tories, but if he goes for Labour, even a couple of other parties like SNP and Plaid Cymru do the same, Brown still won't have enough of a majority.
Personally, I think David Cameron will get it, and much as it pains me to say this, I hope he does too. I still remember when John Major was in power and Conservatives were the bloated fat-cat baddies out to ruin everyone, pitted against the wonderful New Labour who were going to save the country and usher us into some kind of golden age.
Well, look how that turned out...
Becks, I cannot stress how insanely jealous I am- the past three times Metallica have come to the UK I have either been unable to make the date or unable to get tickets. I hope you and Craig have a really really good time!  Whatever people say about them, you rarely hear bad things about their live shows these days.

Reminds me of Dub-ya's first run at office when his brother handed him the election all wrapped up like a gift, in Florida.

Worse, the voting this year has been a shambles- running out of ballot papers, postal votes being lost, and worst of all so many polling stations didn't have enough staff to cope with the numbers of people, so in a lot of places (including our nearest) people were still queueing to vote at 10 o'clock and were turned away- one of my best friends was right at the front (he'd been there for at least an hour) and they shut the door in his face. In some places they actually carried on letting people in, but legally any votes cast after 10 aren't valid... so, its a mess right now.
Anyhow, Good night (morning?!) all!

I'm not British, I have no british relatives that I know of but when I read the international news I absolutely HATE Gordon Brown and Labor. I have been facinated with waiting for this election for the past two years because if that were my country, we would have impeached the fool long ago. Ineptitude should get you thrown out of office, but then again we did suffer 8 years of Dub-ya  after having one of the best President's of the modern times. ARRRGH! Thank god, that's over.

It'll be interesting to see who wins the UK election, a lot of people I've spoken to don't like Gordon Brown lol.
Well I'm happy as cos we just bought our tickets to see Metallica in october, they're coming to NZ for (at the moment) one show. I know I know, a lot of people here don't like them, but I am a fan (granted of their older stuff, St Anger is AWFUL, so is Reload, the list goes on) but I have wanted to see them live for ages and now I am so yay! lol.
