    will it lead to mass depressions? I think so. For goodness sake we are on a knife edge in the uk.



    Only on this forum ;)


    These days I doubt the majority will notice any changes in their lives who ever is in charge , what happens in the rest of the world influences us more then anything

    It's definately more likely now, with Brown gone.

    I think Clegg, and a lot of the lib dem supporters, would much prefer a coalition with labour. However, it could get messy, as we will then have a government we did not vote in, did not get the majority, needs fringe parties AND needs to elect a leader.

    All that together don't sound that great :p

    to be fair it's probably to put pressure on the tories to accept the Lib Dem demands.

    i can't see a minority government with the Lib Dems and Labour.

    But that would be a dream world for the tories.

    A lab-lib pact with no overall majority who can take the blame. What more could they want, new election within 6-9 months and a tory landslide.

    i think the best they could do would get through electoral reform legislation and call a re-election. then with two thirds of the vote walk it.

    I see the Tories aboard are seething that, after an election that they failed to actually win, power might be snatched from their grasp.

    Lets hope a quick referendum on PR will keep the Tories out for good.
