Dr The Singh Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 The facts are that at present Cameron can't form a majority government and his only hope of doing so is if a dozen LD MP's to defect to his party. Which is quite likely if Brown decides he wants to cling on It's embarassing and IMO immoral to hear Brown speak of still being in power!! The next few days will be interesting, can Labour and Liberals join hands, or can Cameron make new friends, either way, it looks very messy!!!
Head Honcho Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Trouble is if he supports Labour I can also see the Lib vote collapsing at a soon to be held election. What Clegg needs to do for his parties sake and probably the country is get reform in place then it matters not who he colluded with he'd be forever loved by current and future LibDems. Yeh good point.

Guest Mee-9 Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 I'm bored of all the coverage now. Roll on This Morning!
Dr The Singh Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 No surprise Keith Vaz won again, 51% of the votes!!!
Jon the Hat Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Good to see Gordon is standing by his principles. Bully your way in, fail to call an earliy election, lose nearly 100 seats and then cling on for dear life. What a loser.

If you really don't believe that right wing politics won't get this country through the next few years then it's his only option.

If you really don't believe that right wing politics won't get this country through the next few years then it's his only option. Yes I can. He lost. He should resign immediately. To no do so makes his a bad loser. Then again we all knew he would not have the character to see he had lost. They may yet have to cart him out in a straight jacket. I am thinking if Cameron promises a program of reform and a referendum to Clegg then Clegg may have enough to bring his party with him. clegg will be very wary of siding with the losing party.

PR would be disasterous for the tories though wouldn't it? I can't see many tories agreeing to this
Head Honcho Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 My god this Jon Sopel and Sian Williams are a right pair. Talk about working with amateurs!
Jon the Hat Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 PR would be disasterous for the tories though wouldn't it? I can't see many tories agreeing to this That assumes things work in the same way, and they won't. Who knows how it would turn out. There are no guarantees a referendum would give a yes answer anyway. Isn't it amazing how Labour has had 13 years to put in place electorial reform, and now they think it is a good idea??

Tommeh Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Lab/Libs for me please, Tories have had their chance and only just scraped it. They should have walked it against an incredibly weak Labour, they've been rejected and Brown has every right to hang on and try to reform in my opinion. Hang on Nick Clegg.....Rob Kelly "Redouble my efforts" what a guy!
Guest Bilo Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Interesting speech from Nick Clegg there as it sounds as though he's more receptive to co-operating with Cameron than Brown. There's unlikely to be a formal coalition but he's sticking by his guns on the issues of the party with the most votes and seats having the most right to govern.
l444ry Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Sky News, The Telegraph, Lord Ashscrofts millions upon millions, The Daily Express, business leaders letters, The Scum, a decapitation policy, The Daily Mail, The entire Murdochs sleaze machine at the Tories use, The Mail on Sunday, The Times, Ed Balls "Portillo Moment" hype, bent polling from Angus Reid Systems (that's right your polling is fooking useless, now fook off back to Canada), Kelvin McKenzie, Politicalbetting, Gary Barlow, The News of the World, Simon Cowell, Eric Pickles, Tom Newton -"my job to fooking well get Cameron in to Number 10" - Dunn,,John Redwood, The London Standard, Boris Johnson, Trevor Kavanagh, stupid fooking posters, 36hours of running around the country like a tit with Sky News in tow, Tim Montgomerie, Norman Tebbit,...Maggie Thatcher.....you all can bully and bullshit the British electorate, you can try and buy their votes with tax exile billionaires petty cash.....but todays election shows you.....the majority think you are not worth the gamble.
Guest Bilo Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 One bit of good news today. George Galloway's political career is over after that thrashing. Nice to see the people of Poplar and Limehouse haven't voted for division and poisonous rhetoric.
Flynny Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 As someone pointed out on the election coverage earlier, Clegg chooses his words carefully. Populist but not backing himself into a corner. Saying that Cameron should 'seek' to form a government first doesn't mean he won't make a show of entering talks with him but then say that they can't agree.

Very smart speech by Clegg. Tories haved the right to form a government and it up to them now............ ......................but no mention of how they are going to do it or who with!
Finnegan Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Yes I can. He lost. He should resign immediately. To no do so makes his a bad loser. They have less seats than the Tories but nobody's strictly "lost" at this point due to the way our politics works. I'm not an enormous supporter of Gordon Brown or this Labour Government but I do think you're being reactionary out of an absolutely massive bias.

FoxyPV Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 Another good point from the election is this Regardless of what occurs, Cameron has thrown this away.
hairy Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 What amazes me in all this is the Tory's total failure. By that I mean their inability to win even after/during a major recession and being way ahead in the polls. After my years of voting etc I would have expected the Torys to walk away with it after all the country has been through recently. Maybe there are many voters like me who would never vote for them, recalling what happens when they are in charge?
Fosse Boy Posted 7 May 2010 Posted 7 May 2010 I think Cleggy will sell out and side with the Tories, but only if he's promised PR. Can't really blame him but it'd still be disappointed. I'd prefer a Lib/Lab pact personally, going with Cameron would cause a huge rift in the Lib Dems. Jeers to the people of Harborough, was really hoping it was going to turn yellow this time.
