2015 UK General Election

I'd scrap Party politics completely, replacing it with a system that allows you to vote for individuals to hold specific roles. Instead of Lords, I would have Experts who's job it would be to work out what the 'best' policies are for a given subject. Instead of Commons, I would have Organisers who's job it would be to put those policies in to practice.
Sum ergo sum

@Tiberius: Wow, that's scary. I should read the Grauniad more often.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm not really a Royalist, but not that bothered, though that grauniad article does concern me.

In other news, Russell Brand has performed a political style U-turn on supporting Ed Miliband. I hope the irony isn't lost on him.

Indeed, at least this strange turd of a man is out. My dad likes him, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on and I suspect he isn't either. Mutual hatred of Blair probably has something to do with it.

Addendum: breakdown of the popular vote for the election. This shit is why we NEED proportional representation, because as we see, Cameron secured a touch over 1/3 of the vote, yet will now command just over half the power in parliament. 2/3 of the electorate did not vote for him, and Labour recieved about 6% less than the Conservatives.
This is not how a multi-party election is supposed to be calculated. This is fucking unfair.

People prayed for this dammit! This is what god wants after all. Despite everything that's happened, I do feel sorry for Nigel Farage. I think he would have have been a hark working MP. Now South Thanet has a nondescript Conservative as their MP.

They didn't pray for it. They voted for it.

It wasn't too long ago that people were voting on whether or not to change the first past the post system. 

People voted to keep it the same.

I know people are moaning how it's unfair now, and I'm another who thinks it is. But people only have themselves to blame really.
