2 days 2 nights 4 off. 7 til 7.

I think you're being a little harsh on Brown. He's being fair at the moment, constitutionally he is entitled to try and form a government, but he is sitting on the sidelines because he respects the Tories have more legitimacy to try first.

So do I. It's not great at the weekends.

Well apply then you boring c*nt.

To be fair, that's not too difficult.

To be fair dune, I don't think you are their target vote.

I and millions of others will gladly pay more tax so that the rich don't have to sell an important Gainsborough. Seems a surefire winner for the Tories to me.

Burt?

Don't go long on pork bellies.

Can't they just be wound up now? They've got the national debt of a third world country.

What about the aquaduct and the wine.

Dune has informed me on another thread that the bookies are leaning towards another election this year. Just wondering if anyone else thinks that Labour may poll better under another leader. I like Gordon Brown, but he is the David James of politics - you're just waiting for him to make a mistake. He doesn't have the confidence of the electorate. However, someone like David Miliband is an entirely different proposition. He actually enjoyed his exchanges with Paxo last night, and is a bit smart. I think he could increase the Labour vote. Harriet Harman would sink the party without trace.

I agree, it is silly, but it is in their manifesto.

Dune, would those unpopluar cuts include the cut in inheritance tax for the wealthiest estates in the land.

All declared, and he didn't flip his property like the rest of them. Yes, the same John Denham who resigned a Cabinet post and lost a lot of salary because of his principled stand on Iraq, the same John Denham who works tirelessly for his local constituents (first hand experience of this).

Great Britain

I agree. I don't like the idea of Labour and the Liberals (and I am Labour through and through) joining forces to create what would be a minority coalition, same with the Tories having a minority government (although this would be fairer - they did win more votes). I suppose a Tory/Liberal coalition would be OK, at least there would be a majority but I don't think it would work in practice and I can't see it happening anyway. All the horse trading now seems wrong. Why don't we just do it again?

Labour and Labour. Really glad that John Denham kept his job. Decent man.

Wes, you could spin the results in any number of ways. You could say that 60% of voters couldn't stomach the idea of a Tory government.

That's how I see it as well, only I see him going off into the sunset with Labour, not Gordon Brown. I think he is toast.

Constitutionally he is wrong, but morally I would say he is right. I don't think he would back the Tories in a coalition though, so it is far from cut and dried.

Weekend should be interesting. IMO either: Labour and the Liberals will form a coalition, with deals on PR and Brown's removal as PM. They will justify this by saying between them they had 60% of the vote OR Cameron will form a minority government helped by the Unionists, and another election this year.

Best of luck to you Duncan. I really think BA would be better served by getting rid of Willie Walsh, he has done f*ck all for their business.

Fair enough, my intolerant, know-it-all friend.

I suppose Sun readers who vote Tory are 'enlightened'. You seem unable to respect an alternative point of view, resorting to insults and petty name calling.
