[Cosimo]

Oh God Oh God Oh God, a presenter on the BBC just said one of the coalition suggestions to come out has been a Labour/Lib-Dem cabinet with...Lord Mandelson as PM.

God help us.

Green Party Euro MP Jean Lambert says: "It's highly unlikely that we're going to be supporting the programme from the British Conservatives… unless they're really going to be listening to people like Zac Goldsmith and doing something very exceptional on the environment, not least on climate change."

If wonder if anyone would bother inviting her to join a government.

GB continues to squat in number 10

Jaqui Smith out !

You’re going to celebrating all weekend.

Oh dear, didn’t get elected so let’s go on a demo.

Clarkson for PM!


( while a silly notion, i wonder how he would actually fare... probably about as badly as everyone else who does the job i bet )

Our mayor and future king Boris Johnson would make a great PM.

Looks like we're stumping up 10billion euros to bail out the EU.

More like 15 billion:

Britain's involvement in the bailout could cost taxpayers £15 billion. Britain was already exposed to a potential £7 billion cost under the original scheme and its ultimate liability under the enhanced plan will be a further £8 billion, Treasury officials say.

Is there a deadline for when a government has to be in place or can this uncertainty carry on into June?

The Cleggster is starting to look like a potential statesman. I am very impressed by the way he is handling this.

Impressed by what, a quick interview outside his home or that his team have met Labour in secret?

 

[Cosimo]

If putting your nation's interests first is "selfish", then yes, the Cleggster is selfish.

It doesn’t make him a statesman and all he is doing is putting "his" interest first.

BBC News - Brown has resigned.

Gordon Brown has said he is stepping down as Labour Party leader.

In a statement outside Downing Street, Mr Brown said he had "no desire to stay in my position longer than needed" and would leave by the party conference in September.

He's still in Number 10.

After 2 years of mis-managed George Osborne spending cuts I'd say they had a good chance of winning the next general election.

You're looking into your clouded crystal balls again.

That could be a still from a Guy Richie or Martin Scorsese film.[/QUOTE]

They don't look tough or mean enough. ;)

I never really understood why being educated and well spoken is considered something to be sneered at, really.

They sneer because they are uneducated or envious or both or either.

Just seen a couple of examples of people suggesting a Tory-Labour coalition.

My - how far we have come...

We have the tail wagging the dog and now we might even have the poo wagging it.

What the heck is democratic about the Lib Dems and Labour discussing using a parliamentary majority to force through AV? Who the heck voted for that?

Nothing and nobody.

The third place losers are trying to dictate something they dream about, it's their only chance of attaining that dream. They don’t represent the country or the majority. We’ve sunk so low that we have the tail wagging the dog.
