Sithu uhm ingonyama ..
For those of you not in the know, that's the opening song to the Lion King, which some kind person taught me the words to at primary school. I still bum it to this day.
I sat til 6 o'clock this morning watching the live feed about the election. If I'd known that the answer they were tentatively giving about a hung parliament would turn out to be the actual answer, I'd probably have gone to bed a long time before.
So, presumably because a shitload of people didn't get to vote, the Tories have gained more seats than the others, but not quite enough for a majority. It's looking like Cameron will form a minority government, as Clegg doesn't seem to want to form a coalition with Labour, which is a big shame.
Sadly, a Labour-Lib Dem pact still wouldn't form a majority government, again a bit of a sad development. As we heard in the debates, Gordon 'agrees with Nick' which might have meant some policies would be passed this year. And a Labour-Tory pact is never gonna happen, lets face it. The only chance of the formation of a majority government is a Tory-Lib Dem pact - I believe Cameron's already extended the offer to Clegg. If this happens, then Clegg will be able to push for electoral reform, one of the Lib-Dem's core goals, and which is badly needed after this years voting shambles.
Credit to David Dimbleby, who made it through the entire night, which must have got pretty fucking boring, and as always to Jeremy Paxman who administered some of his righteous verbal smackdown and slaughtered everyone like the BBC's own Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I wouldn't want to be an MP. Or the prime minister, it looks stressful. Watching them all flapping around answering questions on important stuff and having to take in all that moaning from people. Must get annoying. Sure, they're all a bit corrupt, but whenever I think my day's going a bit crap, I imagine Gordon Brown trying to solve huge lists of deficit fuck-ups and I feel a bit better. That, or I watch that video of the monkey scratching its arse then sniffing it and falling out of its tree.
Oh and Lembit Opik lost his seat. He lost his seat AND got dumped by one of the cheeky girls. What a balls turnout for the Lib-Dems.
"Yes, you could say I have a name like a Scandinavian boy band".
