David Cameron becomes British Prime Minister, Tory back in power

in short - the election results are out, and neither the Labours nor the Conservatives have won enough seats to form a majority, resulting in a hung parliament. either party will now need to reach out to the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition government.

so, your thoughts? are you worried that this will affect Britain's stability, especially if you're a Brit? do you think Gordon Brown will step down? as a new and uncertain era dawns, how would you define the legacy of Labour Party, which has been a close ally of America for the past decade?

Latest development: In an attempt to woo the Lib Dems, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced that he will step down as Labour Party leader by September. No matter which camp the Lib Dems choose to ally with, Brown is now at the end of his tenure as the British Prime Minister. All is not lost for the Labour though, as the Lib Dems and the Tories were unable to strike a deal after days of negotiations.

I'm very disappointed by the Liberal Democrat results. I was hoping they'd go up from 62 seats to 80. But it looks like they'll be lucky to get 55.Bourbons3

people want liberalism now. krazy-blazer

As a first time voter I'm a tad disappointed no-one 'won' and I'm worried that Labour and Gordy Brown will cling onto powertofu-lion91

the BNP are still without a seat. yellerbelly

True but it seems that their popularity is up yet again, nearly 550,000 votes alltogether.

Not as PM, and the people didn't even elect him, he only came into power because Tony Blair stepped down, he should just accept that the people don't want him to be PM.MushroomWig

I only agree with tories on 4 areas whereas I agree with Labour and Lib Dem on 6 areas but I'd much rather have a Conservative government than this unstable hung parliament. And Brown's had the last 4 years to show that he can change things, regardless of whether I agree with their policies, Labour has been doing sweet **** all.tofu-lion91

[QUOTE="rockerbikie"][QUOTE="MushroomWig"] I can see that happening. :( He doesn't seem the type of person who cares about dignity.MushroomWig

He's not experienced as PM? That's odd - who has been living at number 10 then? yellerbelly

You know i would rather have conservatives in even thoe i have a feeling they will do more harm than good. Watch out for ALOT of public spending cuts in the near furture.. Thoe North of Ireland will be hit bad by them im hoping making the south seem more appealing to the people here after that :P

Still was good to see the Alliance party take over the East Belfast seat from the DUP.

i just see Cameron as a bit slimy Wolls

Lol i dont know, Brown looks like he used to be a big teddy bear but now hes got a bit old and dripping with puss :P

noone likes a sore loser, Clegg would be foolish to deal with Brown, I'm certain working with him would cut LDs popularity.

It would most definately lose him any respect that i have

I'm glad I voted Labour and I don't have to feel guilty in six months when Cameron has messed up our economic recovery...

Cameron only cares about rich people.

Did you see on the news that Wythenshawe voters were turned away and not allowed to vote. That area doesn't have many wealthy people, it's mainly lower class. Co-incidence much? T_T

A hung parliament isnt necessarily a bad thing though, there can be good areas of it from what i can see. Seems like parties might actually have to co-operate more and that might be a good thing.Wolls

A hung Parliament could be a disaster. the economic market moves too quickly for a hung parliament to make good decisions for the country, it could be a disaster for recovery

[QUOTE="Wolls"] Yea i agree with that, and from what ive seen it looks like Cameron doesnt want to combine with Clegg anyway, so that might mean that Brown and Clegg go into power instead because of their similar policies etc. I guess its just a wait and see thing nowtofu-lion91

they are annoyed because they are the people who voted lib dem and have now realised they just voted Conservative
