boulton is a prick clearly has partisan views supporting tories, no credibility the whole murdoch enterprise

campbells right and alot of these tories make me sick, couldnt even get a majority vote with all that money and media support and recession and 13yrs of labour smh

and why do they think they are deserved a coalition wit lib when their policies are the most disparate, lab-lib nw looks more likely luckily

Labour is in the best position atm was thinking about it. Who ever Clegg /lib dems choose they will be screwed in the long run. As I can see allot of public pressure to put on another election within a year. No one will want to see the joke of what has happened now so the lib dems will take a big hit in votes as people will look at it as a two horse race and voting lib dem will be a waste of a vote. I do not belive the people in this country are so selfish enough to vote tory but the money they have behind them could sway allot of DUMB people into beliving their hype just coz its up in bright lights. I can see Labour gaining full power again. Also Gordan Brown will be gone and that will bring back allot of voters who were disillusioned with him.

TF you are completely wrong

how can you interpret a 100 seat looss and a 100 seat gain as a loss for both sides

this country does not want labour in power.... if yuo think they do you are confused

Conservatives increased their number of seats and led the poll. However thats irrelevant cos Conservatives didnt get the MINIMUM WIN of 326 seats. 326 is a win, nothing less.

The number of the seats tells you two things...

The British public have rejected Gordon Brown and the Labour Party BUT it also a rejection of David Cameron and the Conservatives as they didnt getting a resounding endorsement, 306 seats tells you that. NO party won, but there has to be a government, and the government will have to be formed via a coalition of parties.

So being that 10.8m people believed in the right wing Conservatives and their policies, yet 15.4m people voted for the left - Labour & Liberals. You tell me what the country wants?

Please note the number of gains are also based on what happened in 2005. Michael Howard the then Conservative leader and his party got a poor 198 seats.

All three leaders this year went to the polls for the first time and none won. Now lets bear in mind that Thatcher first time 339, Major 336, Blair 418.

When people talk about "Labour still leading us would be morally wrong", what about the fact that daily we see William Hague talking about "the talks are on-going and we are making good progress", wait William Hague this guy led the Conservatives to 166 seats in 1997, why is he still even in Politics let alone Cameron's deputy, the country already told him they wanted him nowhere near control of this country.

Gordon Brown quits as PM as Lib-Dem deal falls apart

Gordon Brown is set to resign tonight and allow David Cameron to be Britain's new Prime Minister.

The Labour leader's final desperate attempt to cling on to power with a Lib-Lab deal crumbled amid a rebellion on his own side and policy disagreements with Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.

This afternoon he retreated to No 10 to discuss his situation with senior ministers, friends and wife Sarah.

Mr Brown had planned to stay in power until the summer if the deal had worked, earning himself a place in history as the man who won a historic fourth term for Labour.

However, Labour MPs and ministers reacted with anger to the attempted deal, saying they would prefer to be in opposition than in government with the Lib-Dems.

A friend of the Prime Minister said: “The deal with Clegg was just not do-able.”

Talks with Mr Clegg's team took place this morning but lasted less than two hours. Mr Clegg then reopened talks with the Conservatives, amid speculation that a Lib-Con deal was imminent.

Labour's public turmoil had left Mr Clegg exposed and under massive pressure to make up his mind one way or the other. He was likened to a “harlot” by former home secretary David Blunkett and accused of “Robert Mugabe politics” by former Tory foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
