Who are you britfags voting for?

I just voted BNP

Spoiler: Show

LibDem

Not voting. But it would be Nick Clegg >:D

"Cause he has a third leg!!" - RusselHoward

I'd be torn between Lib Dem and SNP.

I like the Libs Dems policies on things such as Immigration and Crime, but they don't have much in the way of Scotland. I really dislike their plan to bring Capital Gains Tax inline with Income Tax at 50%.

The SNP on the other hand are Scotland focused, and want to protect our budget and I like what they have done in Education and Technology. But I dislike the fact that Stewart Hosie (Dundee East, my constituency) voted in favour of the DEB.

Yeah I know nothing about your crazy politics :p. I would probably vote slightly left wing or moderate. All I know is that a lot of people hate Gordon Brown, not sure why though.

Piss.

Hopefully David Cameron doesn't get in.

Not looking good.

At least Scotland barely voted for Cameron.

(Apart from Dumfries but they are dicks, and its contested there anyway...)

Oh a hung parliament! Joy.

Let's watch the country destroy itself! .

Well, Scotland has had a Hung Parliament for years, and we seem to have managed

Too young to vote, but if i could, Lib Dem, they seem decent enough.

As an American I really know nothing about UK politics, can someone explain why a "hung parliament" is bad. To my understanding it means that there is an equal amount of each party or something or a balance per say is this bad?

Basically, what a party needs to always haves its laws passed is a majority in parliament. So no matter how the other parties feel, the majority party gets its own way. (Having >50% so full control).

In a hung parliament however, no party has more than 50% of the Parliament, so all the parties have to agree to laws, meaning laws take longer to pass through the house of commons if at all.

In the US you do not have this problem, because you have a 2 party system, so one party will be a majority and one a minority regardless of votes, whereas we have loads of parties (Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems, Green, BNP, Pirate, Monster Raving Looney Party to name a few) so it is possible to have multiple parties in the top 50% to govern, which is a hung parliament.

Isnt it Lib Dems that want Britain to be Euros? D:

They want a referendum on the Euro.

Jamza, thanks for the explanations. I see hung parliament sucks

Put me in control, some say my politics are terrifying. Nah, only joking. If I had it my way I would be more of a BENEVOLENT dictator, rather than the opposite.
