Actually what's more embarrassing/ depressing is that this lot aren't going anywhere anytime soon and unless Boris stands down/forced to stand down, we've got another 7 or so years left of this ****.
The things is, more people didn't vote for him than did. In a proportional system, the Tories would not be in power. It's a quirk of geography and how their support is spread that is giving them this much power. A proportional system would return the majority of votes to left wing parties but it fails in a first past the post system because the vote is split across 4 parties (Labour, Lib Dem, Green & SNP in Scotland) whilst the right wing vote is basically in 1 party. The UK has the majority consistently voting left but consistently getting right wing government.It's beyond embarrassing but they say you get the leaders you deserve.
Yeah completely agree. I'd actually go as far as to say it's an undemocratic system (and I'd say the same about the electoral college in the states)The things is, more people didn't vote for him than did.

Interesting, so they are going into special administration, not normal administration. Basically instead of another company taking over, the government is. This seems to be a power introduced after the banking crisis for companies essentially too big to fail. First time it's been used. This will cost the tax-payer as the government will need to pump money in unless it can sell it off. Definitely shows that the government hasn't solved the issue or even got control of what is happening in the energy sector.Bulb in special administration | Blog | Bulb
