So Oligarch In Chief Obama claimed he took the car keys away from the conservatives, but then he gave them to the proggies with a fifth of Wild Turkey and sent them on a careening high-speed drive to Socialistown… via Tea Party Road. They all ignored the warning signs of the past four years, and tomorrow is bitch slap time for the OIC. It’s way past time to take the car keys back, or else we’re gonna be in for more “Fun Fun Fun.”
We’re gonna have fun fun fun tomorrow on the OOT and at Rose’s Table 9, but it’s first things first here on THIS Overnight Open Thread.
The British voters have completed their duty as loyal citizens of The Crown and have casted their votes. By all accounts its a hung parliament. To form a government in this type of system, 51% of the seats have to be won by a party. When that does not occur, the deal making starts, 51% has to be achieved. So for instance, if the Conservatives get 40% and the Lib Dems get 11% they can team up and ‘form a government’. The lower of the two parties gets some seats in the cabinet and gets to write some laws in exchange for participation in the coalition government.
It appears that there will be a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. Labour is finished, they will become the opposition. This ‘immigration for votes’ scheme is part of the reason they are no longer in power. Allow the muslim immigrants in so they vote for Labour at the price of British Culture. Please read this article if you are unfamiliar with the scandal because the Democrats are trying it here in the US and this is causing a similar political backlash.
This is a good background piece on the happenings.
This link is what the Lib Dems want to help form a government.
