What does the OP think? :rotfl::rotfl:
I am in negotiations to determine what I think. There may be a decision in a few days.0 -
do you really still think he was being honest....Graham_Devon wrote: »What Clegg did today was show us honesty.
He made a short and sweet speech, full of honesty, after coming crashing down to earth....thinking he was going to get something like 80 seats. Instead, he got even less seats than the last election!
There was nothing in it for himself, or the lib dems today, with what he said.
If Clegg want's power, there is a very easy route right now, of which, that easy route will be practically begging him to come on board. Today, he basically may have cut himself out, saying what he did.
For him to say "no" to that, and to say he sticks by what he says, and in the name of fairness, the party with the most votes should get the first crack, is not doing HIM any favours....apart from showing honesty and integrity.
He's the first leader to come out after the election, and after the pledges, to actually carry on with what he was stating beforehand, even though it may cost him power. It's refreshing.
look what a difference a few days does...
he had you all convinced... :doh:0 -
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'm not too impressed with him now :mad:
I always said whats the point in voting liberal because all they do is still on the fence never knowing which way to go, but i thought they had changed after i heard I agree with nick's statement after the result on friday.
But alas its the same old liberal party all confused0 -
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.
A Lib/Tory Coalition would cost the country Less than the Torys trying to Pick up Welsh, Scottish and NI support.
Well looks like we get 1 out of those, but with cable still in the cabinet.0
