    Which is why it would not happen. Cameron would presumably call an election anyway.

    Well chuffed with a Lib / Con packt - best of all worlds. No need to be so tethered to one gang - no one party had all the answers. I don't get tribal politics.

    It's a bit harsh calling the people who have governed the country the last 13 years holdalls. :)

    What happens if somewhere down the line the LibDems decide to support Labour (vote of no confidence), do the Tories have to resign and hold an election or could Labour move into power without an election.
    i reckon that will happen in the next 12 months when the Lib Dems resign from the Government when they think they can get a majority or a better deal from Labour because their supporters threaten to defect to Labour due to the deal with the Conservatives.

    once the queen has appointed (annoited?) a new leader there has to be another election before another party can take power. which is what would (will) happen.

    it could be a very good move by Labour - you never know...

    at least people can blame Labour if the Tories get it all wrong and destroy the economy.
