Just heard Clegg saying Tories got most seats / votes therefore they should have chance to form government. He could have played it the 'Mandelson' way but he didn't. I am impressed by his integrity.

I must admit I quite like him and would have voted for the Liberal democrats...but just couldn't because of their defence policy.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I hope they sort something out. I bet most on here would accept a Tory cabinet but with Clegg as deputy PM and Cable as Chancellor.

'have chance to form government' is the key phrase. they might not be able to, esp if PR is a requirement for any lib dem support. So, they 'had a chance'...0

Yeah, fancy not wanting to spend hundreds of billions of pounds on a unnecessary renewal of a US cold war nuclear deterrent that is almost completely dependent on America to operate.
Madness.
