    The problem is now we will probably have months of no mention of any cuts that are needed while waiting for a new election :eek: unless of course our politicians get their act together and form a Con/Lib govt as that is the only option, Lab/Lib/Nat govt may not be a total non-starter but it wouldn't last long, can you imagine the SNP demanding even more cash for Scotland icon7.gif

    They & PC won't demand as much as the DUP already gets :(.

    Where is the ACTUAL national pride in these three countries? They want to sponge from the EU and sponge from the UK simultaneously :(.

    These are not the heirs of William Wallace. They are shameless beggars. Wallace would disown them.

    And to have them propping up a Labour/LibDem coalition would be a millstone round that government's neck.

    And as one Labour tweet recently said

    "Is anyone going to ask the Labour Party if it wants proportional representation before we offer it to Mr Clegg?"
