Can someone explain the LibDim-Conservative union? HOW DOES IT WORK? Aren't they on the opposite ends of the political spectrum?

Basically what has been said. Parties are not so extremely oposite here and in many issues the LibDems and the Conservatives have overlapping interests so the LibDems just chose to join the Conservatives despite some obvious political differences. I wouldn't see it so much as a selling out if the Tories had a different leader but David Cameron, our new Prime Minister *facepalm* is the Antichrist and the spawn of the devil and such things

...Oh Spain. :( Um at least it sounds better than Italy? I'd mention Russia but you know. Russia. *pets*

It's definitely better than Spain. But I really wished the current goverment would continue - they might be too naive and made some mistakes but their policies are liberal and logical, and hey, they're the guys who made gay marriage legal in a country that is still largely homophobic. I love our President, I hope there's some miracle and they win the next elections.

*cheers him on* I didn't know Spain had legal gay marriage. :)

Yes. It was practically the first thing he did when he got into office. It was seriously awesome. A lot of people protested, of course, but fuck them.

That's really awesome. I'll cross my fingers for him.
