Saw in one place that some folk had been queuing since before 9pm and still couldn't vote.
Bit of a shambles tbh.

My local council advertised vacancies on their website a couple of months ago. However, I think many of those who work on the election are current council employees.

Some people claimed to have turned up at 6pm, saw the queue and left to return later. They returned at 9pm, and didn't get to vote.
a) Yes it is a bit of a shambles.
b) Stay in the fecking queue at 6pm if you're that bothered.

It is the view of a human rights lawyer that this is the amount of compensation that would be awarded if a disappointed would-be voter were to sue the electoral commission who, he says, inadequately supervised the election.

Clegg finally shows his true colours. Horse trading between the 2 parties and secretly negotiating behind their backs. Meanwhile the markets are struggling but as long as he gets his reform to the voting system.
In the national interest? I don't think so. In the interests of Nick Clegg and the small number of Liberal Democrat MP's, undoubtedly.
The smallest party by far holding all the cards and deciding on the countrys future, thats democracy for you.

Great post and echo's my sentiments, what is the point of democracy if the party that has been trounced into 3rd place then becomes effectively the most powerful party in the country.
IMO Clegg has completely undone all the excellent PR work during the campaign. He is whoring himself around Westminster like some cheap slut, bartering for the best possible price between two fat and grotesquely rich old has beens, as to who gets to spend the night with her.
I believe that Clegg will now get into bed with Labour, which IMO will eventually lead the Liberal Democrats into the Political wilderness.

And will leave the country with another unelected Prime Minister.
Democracy = Unelected coalition lead by an unelected Prime Minister.
Lovely.

And if we end up with a PR electoral system, then we will be stuck with this ugly charade after each and every election from now on
Get used to it.......
