    Appears that Brown has foot in mouth disease and it is about to sink his candidacy. He got caught on live mike calling a lady who had legit questions about immigration policy a "bigot".

    I wish I could find the video of when Brown was confronted by a host who had a recording of the outburst. Brown looked crushed like he knew his career is over.

    Here's the BBC's latest it everything: BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | UK election

    Grinningboy Blair was quoted as saying that he believes that Brown has every chance of election. Well what I'm thinking about that clearly isn't printable ;) ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politi...10/8653836.stm )

    So the country is looking for a big change in government.

    The only thing I have heard in the news so far about the champagne was Brown leaving his mic on and calling some women bigoted.

    Then him going back and spending 40 minutes with her to apologize.

    Our news is on the slant of how they are trying to get anything and everything on brown and will not let up. Does not matter what it is.

    I guess I should read the whole thread but pressed for time. Good luck in the election and hope that whatever changes may take place it is better for you guys as a country in whole.

    Well last day of campaigning for the parties.
    Crunch day tomorrow.

    Polls are still extremely close and the talk of a hung parliament has increased.

    Has Brown given himself credit for not signing up with the Euro currency ? That would appear to be a selling point at this time.

    I sort of heard a scenario where no party gets a majority vote. Supposedly the Queen would offer Brown the 1st shot of forming a coalition gvt. But ,I think she also has the authority to do a number of different things .

    There's a few possible outcomes to a hung parliament.

    It's all detailed here: BBC News - What is a hung parliament?

    You either end up with a minority government, the ones that got the most seats, or a true coalition where 2 or more parties create a majority of seats.

    The slide show demonstrates this ;)

    There may well be a second, snap election in a short space of time, or they may well just drive forward in minority.

    Well that's it all done bar the counting.
    Exit polls suggest Tories will be 19 seats short of an overall majority, i.e. the 326 seats neeeded to completely win

    Well that's it all over and yes it looks like it will be hung.
    Very close for the cons though.

    Doubt it, unless Brown does the decent thing and concedes defeat.

    Just heard that Brown will not graciously step down . He claims he can form a government . Does that mean he brings the Liberals into a majority ?

    Well they had a election and typical British fashion it was a non event. They have never heard of the principle of equal representation and so they got a result they didn't want. One side is complaining they got 23 % of the vote and only 9% of the seats. Welcome to the real world, it was first past the post after all. With a result like that they would have been lucky to get a seat where I live.
