Conservatives Win Most Seats In U.K. Election

David Cameron and wife Samantha

The Conservative Party, headed by David Cameron, won the most votes and the greater number of seats in the U.K. Parliament. However, the number was slightly short of the 326 needed for a Parliamentary majority. This is known as a hung Parliament.

As such, Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is trying to remain in office, in spite of the fact, his opponents have won more of the popular vote and the most seats in Parliament.

Many are calling for electoral reform, as it is regrettable the people have spoken, via record voter turnout, with one side, the Conservative Party, winning millions more votes than Labour, yet the Prime Ministership is not settled. This ought not to be.

Gordon Brown

The options currently available are for Prime Minister Gordon Brown to resign, as the Conservatives won millions more votes than he and his party did in this election, even surpassing the number that duly elected him to office in 2005 or either party can form a new government with the third runner up, the Liberal democrats.

The main problem with the second option is the Labour Party would still lack the required number of seats to form a working government, even when paired with the Liberal Democrats. The choice is clear. The Conservatives have it.

The British people have spoken. They chose the Conservative Party this go round. For the Prime Minister to stay on is to go against the will of the people. Governing will be extremely difficult and world history will record it as a defeat, rather than a victory.

How are they going to get anything done in Parliament, under the circumstances, with Brown still in office, toiling under a minority number of Labour seats. It shall prove detrimental to the British people and a waste of their time and tax dollars.

It shall also damage the interests of the Liberal Democrats, if history records they sided with the party, Labour, that won the second highest number of votes, rather than the first, the Conservatives, which clearly signals the latter side is the will of the people.

At least in pairing with the Party that garnered the most votes, the Liberal Democrats could improve their stature, after what they've labeled a disappointing showing.

The Judiciary Report's main concern is years more of the Labour Party, under its current spending practices, shall bankrupt Britain and negatively impact the pound and neighboring nations, as the financial crisis that began in America and spread to the rest of the world, is still raging out of control. The storm is not over. The government needs to change course and Labour had years to do so, but have not.

Greece is already having massive trouble. Neighboring Europe needs Britain to be at its financial best. A continuation of the policies of the past several years, will not be beneficial in this regard.

Terrorist Tried To Blow Up Times Square In NY

U.S. President Barack Obama commended the FBI's response in bombing attempt - but for what, failing again

A man tried to detonate a time bomb in Times Square in New York City, but thanks to the keen eyes of t-shirt vendors, was unsuccessful, as they noticed smoke billowing from the abandoned vehicle. The authorities are now searching for clues, as to the identity of the would-be bomber.

This incident occurred just weeks after the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which claimed many lives in the American state of Oklahoma, via domestic terrorist, Timothy McVeigh, leaving a vehicle loaded with explosives to detonate, at a busy federal building.

A similar incident also occurred in London, as terrorists left a vehicle with a bomb in it, to detonate in a bustling area of the city. British counter-terrorism agents were able to find and impound the vehicle before it detonated, saving many lives.

This recent incident in Times Square is a terrible wake up call, regarding those that would seek to kill innocent civilians, to further their immoral cause.

Thankfully, due to the vigilance of civilians, this recent bombing attempt, as with the Christmas Day 2009 airline incident, was averted and lives saved, thank God.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

However, it also pushes another undeniable fact into the forefront. Where was the FBI, who are charged with national security? Who the FBI should be watching, they clearly are not, as incident after incident has occurred, that poses a great danger to human life.

Instead, the FBI is wasting many millions in taxpayer money spying on law abiding journalists and bloggers and other innocent people that do not deserve for their privacy to be violated, while the real criminals are getting away.

It makes one wonder about the true objective of the FBI, its corrupt director Robert S. Mueller and the agency's purpose, costing the taxpayers $8 billion a year, then failing when it's crunch time, leaving innocent citizens to fend for themselves, against deranged criminals that should be in prison, but are roaming free.

David Cameron and wife Samantha

David Cameron, the head of the British Conservative Party, seeks a withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, if he is elected Prime Minister of Britain. The national elections are slated to take place Thursday, May 6, 2010.

Cameron has made his presence felt, in a race between incumbent, Gordon Brown and Liberal Democrat, Nick Clegg. Cameron has also offered sensible economic ideas, to help revamp Britain, during this terrible global economic crisis.

David Cameron looks to Afghan withdrawal

British troops would start coming home from Afghanistan during the next Parliament under a Conservative government, David Cameron has suggested.

In the party's clearest signal yet of a timetable for withdrawal, Mr Cameron rejected the idea of setting an "artificial deadline".

But he added: "We've been there already for eight or nine years. That's already a long time. We can't be there for another eight or nine years...

David Cameron Won Economic British Election Debate

David Cameron and wife Samantha

According to polls conducted in the United Kingdom, Conservative party chief, David Cameron, won yesterday's third and final debate, in the British national elections.

The debate centered on economics and Cameron has the more sound policies in this realm, which can benefit the British economy. This is not the time in world history for liberal and wasteful government spending. Cameron stated he intends to make spending cuts, reform the benefits system and promote British business, which would be beneficial to the economy and nation as a whole.

Here's hoping next week's election, scheduled to be held on May 6, 2010, will bring positive change to Britain. God bless.

David Cameron Courts Liberal Voters Promising A Clean Break From Labour

David Cameron and wife Samantha

Conservative Party chief, David Cameron, the current frontrunner in the British elections, has vowed to give the United Kingdom a clean break from Labour Party policies, as instituted by former Prime Minister, Tony Blair and perpetuated by incumbent, Gordon Brown.

Liberal spending by the Labour Party has placed Britain in a financial quandary, greatly exacerbated by the global financial crisis that began in 2008 in the United States.

Gordon Brown's Bigotgate

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown: woops!

A radio microphone betrayed British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, as he forgot it was on after he left a public engagement and it picked up embarrassing conversation between the incumbent and an aide. He referred to a citizen, Jillian Duffy, as a "bigoted" woman that used to support his Labour Party.

As a general rule, live microphones should be removed by a member of staff, when speaking engagements are over, as one day it could jeopardize the national security of a world government.

David Cameron

Next Thursday, May 6, 2010, is the British national election and based on polls, Conservative party chief, David Cameron, who has the better ideas for Britain, is currently the frontrunner, with Liberal Democrat, Nick Clegg, a close second.
