You really haven't... the most you've said is that Clegg needs to be fully informed.
However, it doesn't matter what Brown can offer as the coalition cannot get enough numbers without the Nationalist parties.
Equally the people gave the most seats and votes to Tories, as such even by Cleggs own view, they should be the ones forming the government

No, No. No. You don't even remember what we are arguing about.

You said that the Conservatives had won. I said they hadn't. You think getting the highest % of the popular vote means they won, when the reality is they can't do anything with it, so they have won **** all.

Proof of this that the Conservatives chose to form a coalition with the Lib-Dems, rather than form a minority Government that would fail.

Yes current government has the (unwritten rule) chance of trying first, but there was no need for Clegg to meet Brown. He could have simply said "not interested, the people have voted. there are only 3 outcomes...."

Or he could have said "Rypt has no idea what he's talking about and insists on spouting the same old ****. Let's actually do what's right and speak to all parties and then make an informed decision."

Now do you get it, or shall I get the crayons out?

I don't think I ever said conservatives had "won" (whatever won means), I was arguing with you over the fact that Clegg was being a tool.

edit: Here you go, the start of the "argument"
It's not his fault? As party leader he commands the respect of his party, and as such should be able to hard sell them the idea of joining the Tories.
If he can't then he's either a weak leader, or he wants "more".

OMFG - if you are going to have a go, can't you at least have half a clue about what you're talking about?

Clegg was obliged to talk to both parties, that takes time. So NO, it's not his fault. He's the Leader of a Party, not a dictator. He has to encourage them to do what he believes to be the right thing.

Jesus, some of you want an IQ test for voting, perhaps we ought to have one for posting on the forums as well?

I wish they'd hurry up.

Seriously, I reckon they finished the chat in 15 minutes and have just been pretending to talk so they look important ;)

Glad Brown is out.

You were arguing they had won, several days ago and you've had a bee in your bonnet ever since. Today's drama is a continuation of the theme. I've clearly explained why I think your view is wrong. I am at a loss to understand how you can sit there and say otherwise!
