The situation was quite interesting and historic. I wonder what this means for Europe and the rest of the United States.

I think Gordon Brown became a pariah even before he took office as prime minister. He's not a charismatic guy; he can't cope with social situations. The press pilloried him unmercifully. He was torn apart by them, but I, for one, was very impressed that he endured and survived, nd actually, I think he did a really good job in an impossible situation. It remains to be seen whether the two boy wonders, Batman and Robin, will be able to do any better.

I don't know much about politics in the UK. But, I did notice that the picture of Queen Elizabeth looks a whole like our old Aunt Evva did in her last years.

Well said old chap, we in the colony of Canada understand it perfectly well of course because once again we showed the Commonwealth the benefits of a minority government and our lack of trust in anybody calling themselves a politician. I do believe even the U.S.A. has the same view of politiicians as do we in Canada.

David Cameron
Basically dsm a lot of folk support the same party come what may. The others float either way depending mostly on the grievances that they feel may have been inflicted upon them. It has got to be good times for the incumbent party to remain in control.

I can never understand politics dsm, is it the money in it or the dreams for the nation or status symbol that they pursue or power that they attain (albeit through the same people they mislead)..don't know really. Thanks for the music you summed up through my poetry..great song it ended in.

to admit that I understand it easier than your American form. Also we take 6 weeks from our 4 years for campaigning...if you have done a good job and have not been there for too long...you get elected. Aust. differs to the UK in that voting is compulsory and we elect our upper house...our senate.....for a six year term rather than have them appointed or inherit the seat.
