After weeks of arguing about the merits and cost of the alternative vote by politicians and celebrities some of dubious character the people of Britain have voted overwhelmingly to stick with the current system of first past the post. Nick Clegg may not be very happy but the people of Britain have shown that they are not as naive as some ministers would have you believe. They have also shown their contempt for the Lib Dem's many who have not gone along with Clegg and senior Liberals who formed a coalition with the conservatives to form this government, and hopefully pull us out of the financial mess left by the previous government. As some have said ever time there is a labour government the country is left in a financial mess. This time it might not have all being of the making of the Labour government but a lot of the blame can be laid at the door of Tony Blair and certainly Gordon Brown who as Chancellor took $5billion a year out of the pension funds. That has now affected the living standards of thousands of pensioners. But they are both doing very nicely financially, thank you.
