Yep, the link above suggests I might not have been talking bollocks after all ... a progressive (ie. non Tory) alliance is mooted, at least by the minor parties ... although I sense Brown knows he is beaten & would prefer Clegg to do a deal with the Tories that included the clear electoral reform (not just some vague promise) knowing that Cameron himself would be signing his (and his party's) own death warrant ...

Likewise intrigued.  Clegg has a once-in-generation chance to cut a deal.  What he desperately needs to realise is that whoever he deals with will use him and the LD's support only for as long as they actually need it (i.e. until they can call an early election and get their own majority).  Consequently he has to get the single thing that really matters - namely electoral reform - and get it quickly.

I'm intrigued by what's going to happen over the next few days. Surely Clegg can only do a deal with Cameron if dodgy Dave agrees to LibDem demands for voting reform and a pledge for a further election on those terms in the next 18 months, otherwise it is not Dave's call. The party rank and file would never forgive shagger Nick for passing up the historic opportunity and cuddling up to Cam for a full term. Play hard ball. It's a bit of a nightmare situation for the Tories. They'd take the flak over their austerity measures, probable inner city riots by next summer and there would be a resurge of Labour support under Dave Milliband, Gordon Brown's likely successor. If Cam can't seal the deal, Gordon can cobble together a government majority (maybe not quite) with additional support from the SNP, Plaid Cymru, the SDLP etc, more then likely handing over to Milliband sooner rather than later but keeping Cameron out of number 10 ... but I could be talking complete bollocks  :o)

 Oliver mate, it weren't necessary on Facebook and it aint necessary ere either!
 
 Our Country is in ruin and we are none of us impressed regardless our point of view, an old Anarchic ditty aint gonna make us any the more cheerful!
 
 Mate luv ya, but nah! 
 
 We are now in an abyss and nothing short of 5 more years of misery and grief awaits us all, nostalgia pales under reality!
