Hmmmmm... Correct me if i'm wrong but that should be something like "Lars Troelsen" or something like that? |

Sounds like a good enough reason to change your username. Mike should be on it. *claps hands* Chop chop.
I'll talk to him about it.

I'm staring at a newspaper headline that says "Porto signs Eddy Merckx".
Yes.
Apparently Porto have a billiards team. Apparently it's one of the world's best.
Apparently they just signed belgian Billiards World Champion Eddy Merckx.
The world is just plain weird sometimes
On a different subject,
A study was released yesterday about portuguese people and how fat/not fat they are. Newspapers, of course, must always spell DOOM. TRAGEDY. because that's what sells.
So, today we have 2 different covers on 2 different newspapers, both referencing the study:
Cover #1: PANIC. X% of people are so self-conscious they think they're fat when they're fine. TV IS TO BLAME!!!!!
Cover#2: DANGER. Y% of people are overweight and don't even think they are. PEOPLE HAVE NO SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS
God I hate journalists.

I think Rjc is in his final year, so yeh it wont help him. But I dont think you are Crommy (correct me if Im wrong), so if the unlikely happens, and Britain gets a Lib Dem majority, they have said that they will immediately look to abolish the fees for final year students.

They also plan on cutting funding, which means the universities will go bankrupt, not an ideal situation.

Which would be great. If the chances of a Lib Dem majority were as good as nil. And in a hung parliament, it'd be unlikely the Lib Dems would be able to squeeze this through the other 2 parties, especially during a recession...

That's Labours fault for their ridiculous 50% university take-up target. Funding should be focused on the good universities, in the more established subjects

Likely outcome:
Hung Parliment.
Labour + Lib Dem partnership. (Lib Dem are closer to Labour, than they are to Tory), and Labour are more likely to want electoral reform too, something Lib Dem are 100% for.

Surprisingly not true. All the parties are so centre now they're all as close as each other. And election reform isn't a deal breaker. It'll definitely get through the next parliament whoever comes out on top...
Clegg has also said he will side with whoever gets the most votes (not the most seats), which will be the Conservatives.
So it'll either be a minority Conservative government, or a Lib Dem - Conservative coalition.
Also, Clegg has all but said there's no way he'd ever back Brown as PM

Cameron has spoken against a hung parliament several times, so it'd surprise me if he decided to side with the Lib Dems.
So, I guess it's still most likely that the Lib Dems and Labour form a coalition, making Clegg the PM (unless Labour gets more votes than Lib Dem).

or, if the conservatives get close enough, they could have an alliance with minority parties.

There's a saying i heard.
Labour hate Conservative
Conservative hate labour.
However, both hate Liberal Democrats.
Anway, Clegg is one of those guys I also don't trust.
For me - the answer is Gordon Brown. I can tell you why, but i'd rather not.

Cameron wants power however he can get it. That means if he doesn't get enough seats, he will try a Lib Dem coalition.
And if a Lib-Lab coalition was formed, Brown would be PM. The way our system works, despite the Lib Dems getting far more votes than Labour, Labour will still win double the number of seats...
...yes, yes our system is messed up

I'm fully aware of your system's crazyness. I've made a bet on Labour winning most seats (hence why I care about your election... ).
Anyway, we'll see. People are willing to do everything for power, so even the most unlikely coalition can become real  |
