Gordon Brown beats all....as will be seen tomorrow..:)
And look - flying pigs. No, wait a minute...."The Labour party has the right to form the government because the majority of the vote was against the Tories". Just retire him now, please

In a hung parliament, he is still PM although would have to form a minority administration. If the Tories get more seats, however, I doubt he'd have a mandate and would probably be forced to resign unless he could cooperate with another party to form a coalition.

Don't forget that if Brown is unable to form a coalition, the parliamentary mandate expects the Queen to invite the deputy, ie Harriet Harman, to form one. Who knows - it could be the time of the second female prime minister? One who this time won't try to destroy the country?... ;)

Oh yeah, really got her head in the "real" world that one.

The country is on its knees, our soldiers are dying because of poor equipment and her 2 biggest concerns are putting an end to the term chair"man" in parliament and stopping page 3!

Things will be so much better with her in charge :roll:

(there is never a "rolling on floor peeing yourself laughing" smillie when you want one!)

Harriet Harperson or Margaret Thatcher.... well at least Thatcher was a formidable force... Harperson'll probably be the first PM to have her license revoked.

If Thatcher destroyed the country, why were there 3 Conservative governments in succession?

I believe he's still well, he has his reasons for his absence which is all I will say on the matter.

As to what will happen now, there's a 50 50 chance of both Liberal Democrat/Conservative parliament as well as a Labour/Liberal Democrat parliament.

Still the sooner Brown goes the better, should really do the country a favour and commit hara kari!
