Politically hung?

With the General Election edging ever closer, the fear of a 'Hung Parliament' is sweeping both Whitehall and the rest of the UK.

So.... What is a Hung Parliament?

A Hung Parliament is created when no party has achieved an overall majority of seats in an election. Seats are occupied by MPs representing individual constituencies across the country, if no political party has more than half of the seats in the House of Common- a hung parliament is created.

However, an here's the confusing part, even though no overall majority is achieved, the party with the most seats will be asked to try to form a Government. For example, there are 650 seats in the House of Commons (not counting 'The Speaker and his deputies') and for an overall majority to be achieved 325 or more seats have to be won by a political Party. So if the Conservatives were to win 326- they would hold the majority and form a Government.

So the party who doesn't hold an outright majority- yet still has the largest of number of seats in the Commons will be asked by Queeny to form a Government. The best chance for a Government to be formed this way is for the party (e.g, Tory) to form a coalition with a smaller party (e.g, UKIP)- this would then form a Coalition Government- similar to that of Germany. The Coalition Government would then have to reach a 'happy medium' on policies and other such aspects of Government.

However if this cannot be achieved, then Parliament has to be dissolved and another election takes place. This has only ever happened once before in the last 100 years, it occurred in 1974 when no outright majority was achieved when Labour held 301 seats compared to the Tories' 297. A minority Government was formed but lasted a short while before Parliament was dissolved and another election happen in October.

If a 'Hung', 'Coalition' or 'Minority' Government was formed after this election you can expect for their to be some rather heated debates in the Commons as parties push for their own agenda to be put forward.

Maybe the Queen is in for a busy year because of this...

Grrrrrrrr.... Vampires!!!!

Recently it seems that every film or TV shows only chance of success is if it massively involves Vampires!!!!

However, it's worth pointing out that they are not the traditional Vampires of old, these 'hybrid' vampires- who apparently ooze sex appeal for millions of prepubescent teens across the world have ruined the excitement that I used to feel towards Vampires (no sex pun intended)!

Dracula is the standard, for me, when rating the awesomeness of Vampires. He is traditional, elegant and just plain awesome- especially when Christopher Lee is the star!

But these phonies from- and I'm about to barf- 'Twilight' have completely ruined these once awesome creatures. With their 'rogue' looks they have destroyed Vampires, not only for myself but for future generations as well!

See below for visual evidence!

-not awesome!

- awesome!

'A picture is worth a thousand words, Lee's Dracula speaks volumes!!!

Is it a coincidence that God spelt backwards is Dog?

As you can tell by the title, this post isn't going to be embracing 'God' or 'religion'...

In my most humble opinion, the whole idea of religion is overrated. It's more of a ray of hope for those in tough times.

Think about it, if you had the chance to 'repent' for the wrongdoings in your life and be guaranteed a seat in this castle in the clouds, then you would jump at the opportunity. Fortunately not everybody thinks like that, otherwise I'd expect to drunkenly stumble past a long line of heathens wanting to repent.

And then we come to God...

This mythical apparently benevolent, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresence being that created the world in 7 days- I know this is bogus because it took ages to create Ikea which is a miniature world itself.

Anyhow, my view remains Atheist, and I don't really see that changing. However as religion is such a subjective topic of society, no one person is right (except me)!

I apologise for this being so short, but I have just learnt that Cheryl Tweedy is now single :-D

"When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself."

Yes I know it's hard to believe, but I'm back! (insert evil laugh for effect!)

With the world on it's knees and politics in such a shambles- I saw the SB! signal in the sky and, like the caped crusader that I am, I knew the time was nigh! Out of the darkness I came, running to save you all.

However I do genuinely intend to publish some kind of deep and meaningful post today, so I shall return.

Until then, FEAR EVERYTHING!!!!!
