The ONLY thing they want guaranteed is political reform, thats about the best interests of the Lib-Dems and not the people of this country. Whats happened to all their principles on "fairness" in the economy and the massive change in immigration and defence.. you know real issues that affect people every day.... all of these can apparently be sacrifised apparentrly so long as tyhey get political rfeform. Weak, spineless self serving politicians... as per usual. Labnour are even worse... they are saying they will agree to everything and anything to hang in there. sickening. If we end up with a coalition of losers then I, and I think the vocal majority, will be mighty pissed off. I'd expect Nick Clegg to get an absolute mauling in the press if he sells his soul and integrity for a slice of power... a slice of power that wont last 6 months in my opinion. A lib/lab agreement is built on sand and would evaporate very very quickly. Gordon Brown hasnt won anything ever... he didn't win an election of even his peers to become party leader, he didn't win an election to become prime minister and now he has lost another election as leader... and he has the chance to stay as Prime Minsiter.... and this is democratic is it? Do me a favour... it stinks!!!! |
I think that the party (regardless of who comes first) should be elected to govern. It is clear in this case that the Conservatives (seats and percentage of the vote) are by far the favoured party and it is a joke that they need the third and unpopular Lib Dems in order to form government. I hope that the Conservatives can agree with DUP and "other" parties in order to pass the 326 mark but I don't think it is possible. Also how democratic is it that Gordon Brown is Prime minister prior to the elections when nobody boted for him, the British people wanted Blair and they ended up with Brown...
It will end up being a CON-LIB coalition and when/if there is electoral reform, Nicky Clegg will be the first to complain when the BNP will get 15~ seats and his party still don't beat Labour or the Conservatives.
