Bang on with the integrity mate, you sound like a bit of an anarchist on the fly or maybe just brutally honest :lol:

Ah I dunno - Just had a bit of a sinking feeling last night when I heard the news. I don't think I'll ever see a true 3 party race in my lifetime. Always will be Tories Vs Labour.

What's worse is when you see (as was the case this morning) a Lib Dem and a Tory MP together getting interviewed - both agreeing with each other and raising eyebrows to each other when something slightly disagreeable is mentioned - 5 years of this?!

AND Nick Clegg was late for work this morning - I'm surprised Cameron didn't punch him in the face for turning up skipping down Downing Street all smiles at twenty past ruddy 9 !

Recipe for disaster, methinks. However, I hope it works out for the country's sake.

Cameron was so desperate for power (after failing to clinch a majority against a vilified PM), he's dropped his pants and bent over for Cleggy to slip him one. New MP to deputy PM in five years - good work, Nick.

They are so far apart on so many things, it's scary - immigration, defence, 'green' issues, europe, tax reform etc - and that's without PR.

Dave was so scared that a Lib/Lab pact was going to happen, full PR would be brought in (not the wishy washy AV system), that the Tories would be for ever in the political wilderness.

However, Cleggy's shot himself in the foot in the long term (for short term gain), 'cos a lot of the Lib Dems are further to the left than Labour, and their supporters didn't vote for a Tory government. Next time, they are gonna vote for Labour knowing if they stick with the Lib Dems they'll get the fella that's a direct decendent of royalty.

No matter how 'liberal' DC comes across as, he's a Thatcherite, privileged, out of touch guy. A reasonably smart political operator, I guess, but he's already showing his weaknesses.

Roll on the next election.

This once great nation is fucked from top to bottom. Whichever party resides at number 10, it'll take them years to sort it out - and that's if they ever will. Leave it to the dogs eh?

David Cameron reminds me of Alan B`stard from the TV series The New Statesman.

I saw David Cameron and Vince Cable this afternoon ... Cable did not look particularly comfortable to be honest. Sooner or later either he goes, or Osborne goes ...
