Good luck. I'm going to waste tonight being unproductive by watching the election results slowly trickle in on TV. ^^
ye but them conservervatives ^^- "conservervatives"? :D
I watched all the way from the start of the count at 10pm in the evening to 11am the next day--13 hours straight... I wonder how many other people are crazy and do that too? Hope it's not just me, haha... ^^;
I didn't vote conservatives, but I'm just happy that Ed Milliband's party didn't win in any form.
Just kind of sad that the party I voted for only got one seat, even though they had 3.9 million votes... Far less seats than SNP's 1.5m votes got them. Less seats than LibDems 2.4m, DUP's 0.2m, Plaid Cymru's 0.2m, SDLP 0.2m, UUP's 0.1m, etc...
1 in 8 voters voted for them (12.6%), yet they only get 1 of the 650 seats (0.15%)...
Oh well, not really the right place to rant about politics I guess. Maybe I should start following Japanese politics a bit more, then I could probably get away with ranting about that! ^^ 
You don't want to know about Japanese politics. Really.- I kind of prefer Japan's voting system, seeing as it it more proportional than the UK's pure first-past-the-post system, but yeah, the politcal parties themselves aren't great.
Voter turnout was like 50% or something in Japan's last general election? and I thought turnout was bad in the UK...
Can't decide who I'd vote for, but probably LDP. Can't believe the Communist Party is gaining more seats and votes...
Japanese politics doesn't seem too dull. Doesn't seem like it's as interesting as UK politics, but is still interesting enough for me to rant about. :D
