    Be careful what you wish for.

    Many posters are just following the mob mentality. The alternative may not be as palatable as you might hope.

    There speaks someone with a vested interest in retaining the Status Quo....

    A bloke goes to Downing Street and stands at the gates shouting, "Gordon must go, Gordon must go!" The policeman comes up to him and says, "You're too late there son, Gordon Brown has already been voted out".

    "Oh" replies the protester and goes away.

    The next day the same man arrives at the gates of Downing Street shouting "Gordon must go, Gordon must go!" The policeman comes up to him and says, "I told you before, you're too late, Gordon Brown has already been voted out".

    The protester replies, "I know I just like hearing you say it".

    The copper responds with a smile, "Great isn't it. See you tomorrow?"

    I don't see Tories and Liberals doing a deal.
    There is more chance of Brown doing a deal with Liberals and staying.
    Stop getting excited.

    What difference does it make who is in No.10 anyway.

    Very true. Let's see if Nick Griffin's still available.

    There can't be a formal Tory LibDem coalition - Tories can't offer enough and even if they could Clegg would never get it past the "triple lock" in his party. So the best the Tories can do is a minority. Why would Brown resign his minority administration in favour of a Tory minority administration?

    BTW I can add up a Lab/LD coalition and get a majority of 1. Won't happen, but thats the only feasible majority on offer....
