I'm a long time Lib Dem voter. I always hope for a landslide majority. Realistically, I don't think it'll happen, but it's more likely this time around than it has ever been before.
The bookies are giving 10/1.
I think the bookies are basing that more on volume of bets than actual odds. :P
But you wouldn't hear any complaints from me. PR would be a total landscape change in British politics. You think the House of Lords would delay it for a year if it happened?
I don't think so, no. The Lords have actually pretty much been the voice of reason in UK politics lately, and the only real check on Labour's majority. Personally, I'm not convinced that an elected upper house would necessarily be an improvement, though I sometimes wonder if the reasonable tone that the Lords have been taking recently is anything to do with the fact that they're very much aware the Commons is out to get them.

True, but them actually being able to do it is pretty new.
Part of Blair's legacy was the hamstringing of the Lords.
Thanatos are you British? I thought you were a Yank.
I studied a bit of British politics in college, and I keep up with things over there off and on. Since the debate, this election has heated up a ton over there; even American papers are covering it.

Yeah, like I said, maybe a bit optimistic. But hey, I didn't think Obama had a chance in hell, either. Shows what I know.

I was watching some old episodes of Have I Got News For You from during the Obama campaign the other day. It was hilarious, and not for the usual reasons.
Some history students in thirty or forty year's time are going to have a field day with stuff like that.

Man I dunno, American elections are much longer so Obama had a good amount of time to really overturn all the odds against him

Have I Got News For You is a topical comedy quiz. It was funny because they were talking about the US elections and were absolutely certain that Obama was doomed.

I'd like to go to Waikiki and back with a stop at the Ward Center but it's proving more complicated than originally planned.
Best way to get a smooth route is to call them, Quid. Here's the number: 808-848-5555. They're open 'til 10pm.

Nah. I chortled.

The other week it was facebook rant about how Carbon Dating and science in general is profit-driven bullshit.
Today it's a rant about how America is worse than Nazi Germany because we let abortion doctors kill more innocent babies than Hitler killed jews.

I'm pretty sure I almost died when I watched the caves episode.
And when the snow leopard chased its prey down the side of a cliff in slow motion.
One of those women did vocals on a few Royksopp tracks. I'd recognize that voice anywhere.
This must be-it. :whistle:

Now I am left wishing busses were faster. I could ride my bike there faster than it would take.
Though on the return trip I'd likely fall off drunk.
