It's now been a few years since I played soccer. Last World Cup I was all still in the, you know, idea that me and - like - slide tackling was... errr... not stupid. I thought that it was very healthy to have rolled ankles, sprained kneed, black and blue shins not to mention aches and pains. Not …

This is great. An election that never really ends. And they are already breaking promises as the LibDems have been two-timing:  •  The Lib Dem team negotiating with the Tories over forming a new government also met Labour figures in secret at the weekend, the BBC has learned. As well as holding …

Graphic representations of data are the best thing ever. And this BBC modified bar chart of the alternatives for the British Parliament is a great example.

Stories are now abounding that what the UK really needs is a different way to vote seeing as this election is looking like it's leading to a minority or hung Parliament. The greatest disappointment in the race so far, the Conservatives who should have walked away with this election on no other …

Apparently Canada's minority Parliament technically was unable to handle the recession just past... even though it did rather nicely. You see, the work in the UK is that a Parliament witohut a majority means DISASTER!!!  •  George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, and Ken Clarke, the shadow business …
