You couldn't PM me the next lottery result too per chance? Ta ;-)

Great thread. Cheers for the light relief :-)

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Cameron must, in hindsight, be delighted with the way things have turned out. Had he got a working majority, the necessary cuts that the government needs to make would have been labelled by the left and a large section of the British public as "same old Tory cuts", whereas now it appears they've got an alliance with the lib dems they have a shield for that false (but damaging) criticism by being able to say, we discussed this with vince cable and our other lib dem friends first and we decided together that cut 'x' and cut 'y' were necessary. Some might say that cameron even planned it this way...

There are plenty of floating voters that flip-flop between the Tories and lib dems

Vince Cable: "a deal is very, very close to being done"

He's great at rattling cages and getting a reaction though... ;-)

Us SWF reporters on the ground knew that an hour ago...keep up ;-))

Haven't these rent-a-mobs got better things to do? (like sitting on a football forum all day)

It's fluctuated between 21 and 24 over the years.

22 I think

Staff inside No.10 told they'll know "one way or the other" what is happening by 6pm...

Clegg to get deputy leader + 6 cabinet places according to ex-Sun political editor George pascoe...

BBC: PM spokesman denies Brown has resigned

A.k.a. Lying

Labour saying that the talks with lib dems "never got off the ground". Lib dems said to be hacked off with the arrogance of un-elected 'bully' tactics of Mandelson and Campbell aparently

Bye bye Gordon

What was the sample and how many Tory voters didn't partake compared to the number of labour voters didn't partake? Just wondering ;-)

Suck

Yep, all parties break manifesto 'pledges' at the end of the day. They would be better badging them as 'aspirations' really

Ironically perhaps, I believe the conservatives only have 6 seats in the Scottish 'parliament' by virtue of the fact they have a pr system up there

They couldn't logistically all move to other airlines though, could they? How many 'spare' jobs do these other airlines have? Yours devils-advocately...

Yep, hence me saying labour heirarchy have offered AV before a referendum (apologies if I didn't make that bit clear)

Don't manifestos have to be compromised in a 'balanced government' scenario though...?

The conservatives haven't agreed to AV without a referendum. That's the tory offer to the lib dems: referendum first. The Labour heirarchy have simply tried to trump this offer by saying they would change the system before a referendum and it's that which labour MPs are unhappy about
