Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[Squark]

It pains me to say it but think at this stage I'd take a Lib/Con coalition with Vince Cable as Chancellor.

I think I'm in agreement, a Con/Lib coalition is probably best for all

Radio 1: Apparently a 14 year old boy in Preston has managed to vote.

Yea, it was on the BBC news ticker a couple of hours ago, pretty funny

Another vote for this as well.

Perhaps ocuk needs a new coalition poll?

Yes, it will, fantastic! Heaven forbid that the porportion of the vote is directly represented in the amount of seats that you recieve in Parliment. /sarcasm

MP's might have to actually make deals and work together to get stuff done, rather than having their super-blob party push things through.

But you applied it purely in context to the "one eyed" guy in your earlier post. Mentioned nothing about the idea itself, but just as a measure to get rid of Brown.

But now your post is much more constructive to what was being said.

Cameron making a pitch for coalition with lib dems. All out in the open now. Down to the lib dems.

 

[makamiso]

would seem david cameron wants to work with the lib dems

Gah, beaten to it

 

[sammo62]

lol after all the OcUK Lib/Con bickering, we are going to have a Lib/Con coalition...

 

[Irish_Tom]

With the caveat that the majority of Conservatives' policies will be put into action.

 

[Squark]

From Cameron; No option for PR, but better boundary editing for fairer representation

 

[Kenai]

Basically 'We want to work with you, if you abandon half your key principles and we make hardly any compromise'

If the Lib Dems take this offer it will make mugs of their voters and destroy their long term support surely

 

[doodah]

Britboys post reminds ever so much of a certain poster in SC.

I laugh at the prospect of a Tory/Lib Dem coaltion

 

[platypus]

..I have a "constitutional duty" to ensure that a parliamentary majority is found that reflects the will of the people.

I think his duty is to stand down then!

 

[avec]

Beautiful stuff from Cameron, lets see what happens now.

 

[muon]

Pretty much everything. They'll "work on" the LD ones which don't coincide with the conservatives.

That's politics for you.

While my preference would be a Conservative government I think I Con/Lib pact could work, sort out the economy and repeal a lot of the more draconian labour laws. Through in some more free market public sector reform and some political reform. A referendum for the Scots on Independance. Then end the coalition with a referendum on a move to PR followed by an election using the system the public have chosen.

Oh no, In that post I was just expressing my dislike of Brown.

 

[Gimpymoo]

I like it how all the Tories are saying a Con/Lib coalition would be good - LOL

It is your only option, a minority Government would last 5 minutes.

I think Tories are desperate after being shut out for soo many years.

They would take a Lab coalition if needs must.

[britboy4321]

stop argueing

+1

That's their opening position, as he said all these things can be discussed. A referendum with the Tories campaigning for a different system to the LibDems wouldn't be contrary to a coalition.

It will be interesting to see Cleggs position on PR
