Eton Toff

Yes, disgraceful that the guy who got the most votes actually gets to be PM. What sort of democracy is that.

Any old St Mikes boys here?

Yeah it would have been Cameron the Sun readers do as they're told.

Would you have preferred he got into bed with Labour?   I think that Clegg knew that to do so would have been the end of the Libs if the Progressive Alliance had then collapsed within a year and there had been another election. Lib voters would have flocked left and right and finished them as a serious party.   Instead, they have genuine influence for the first time in 70 years.

Christ on a bike, we now have 2 parties at the total opposite end of the spectrum in terms of policies joining forces just so they can stick their toungue out at Labour. What the hell happenes at the next election or a bi-election?, how can the Lib Dems now come out and have a go at the Tories over their policies seeing that they will have been in bed with them for the previous 5 years, getting a bit heavy here now, im back off to the Sofa debate.

Having listened to the make up of their coalition agreement there has clearerly been compromise on policy from both sides. These are unique times in both a political sense and an economic one. Given that even most labour MP's thought a coalition with the Libs would not produce a stable government, so what were the alternatives?

The fact that we may disagree with what either party stands for I one thing, but at this time in our history this coalition will hopefully do what's best to address the country's prob lems instead of putting the wishes of their own party members and voters first, I.e.

The Tories offered the Libs well over the odds, and the offer of power was too much to resist in fairness. As you say, a minority Tory government would have struggled, the Simon Hughes' of this world would have been more likely to align the Libs with the Labour opposition over time. Cameron played it well in fairness, but as you say, hopefully they'll have the tezzas to take us forward.
