Election

[annwfyn]

Right now, the election results are making me happy.

• Jeremy Paxman is savaging anyone who will talk to him. He's such a fantastic human attack dog.



• A hung parliament, as far as anyone can tell.



• A Green MP, which makes me exceedingly happy.



• The BNP vote dropped by 6% and they got nothing. The UKIP also got nothing.



• The Conservatives are talking about constitutional reform, and this is the best chance we've got for PR in a generation.

About the only thing that is making me sad is that the Lib Dems actually lost seats. I'd been beginning to harbour faint hopes for Nick Clegg.

As a final note, I don't believe in telling anyone how to vote, but I have been thinking one thing tonight.

If you voted for the BNP or for the UKIP, I think that we probably may have a bad case of Irreconcilable Differences, and it might be for the best if you quietly remove me from your friends list. I shan't make a fuss (which is rare for me) and I shall just remove you back. I don't think this is likely to come up, but I wanted to say it.

Under a Labour government or lib/lab coalition, apply. Trying to apply under a Tory or con/lib coalition, however, strikes me as an invitation to chaos and unhappiness.

Oh, but the questions on the citizen test are so delicious, I couldn't stop giggling yesterday... Kept wanting to tick the box "I don't know, but I bet you don't either".
