    Of course they are talking to them. But they are not dealing with them.

    I am listening to sky news and it doesn`t look good. My guess is that Nick Clegg cannot sell the conservative`deal` to his mp`s.
    I am horrified

    Looks as though sinn fein, plaid cymru and snp rule might be on the cards with Brown in charge :eek:

    i'm not - it's very difficult balancing your parties intentions, your own career objectives and then what's good for the country.

    all 3 of these cannot be achieved together.

    politicians are politicians - they are not to be trusted.

    Sinn Fein don't attend Westminster as a matter of principle.

    Their absence reduces the number of MPs to 645 and makes 323 MPs enough for a majority. The DUP have indicated that they are prepared to talk to Labour, which goes to show how few friends the Tories have in the Celtic world.

    They are all lying f*cking thieves.

    and why is it that alistair campbell and mandelslime are involved in the negotiations?
    who ever elected them?

    the whole fiasco is not only a joke but a convenient sideshow.

    Don't be so sure of that.....
    But it has now emerged that the Lib Dem negotiating team has also been in what appear to be parallel talks with Labour - meeting Lord Mandelson, Ed Miliband, Ed Balls and Lord Adonis in secret at the weekend.

    In your dream world. They're just a set of money grubbers looking to grab cash for Northern Ireland and Broon is so desperate to cling on to power regardless of cost that he'll promise them anything.

    Of course the Lib Dems are talking to Labour, why shouldn't they? The key thing for the Lib Dems is electoral reform - without its acceptance from the Conservatives I cannot see a deal going through. The heat is on Cameron.

    lib dems and labour should go into coalition as opposition with electoral reform as a shared agenda. allow cameron to form his minority govt on his own (and with possibly the drifting votes of a couple of more right wing mps from other parties). this will then force a re-election in a few months and the new lib/lab coalition will win. it will also give labour the chance to change leadership which sadly is probably necessary at this stage.
