If there is a Cons/Lib coalition, then Winky will have no say in the matter.

[TheFlyingBanana]

David Milliband.

(Maybe after a brief interlude of Cameron...)

[Ralph Wiggum]

In the long run, Cameron. Although not yet.

[AndrewW-G]

I'm putting my bet of a whole jaffa cake on CMD, cant see winky surviving past mid week and with any luck we'll see him on the back benches before the end of the month as I cant see him taking defeat well

[TankRizzo]

The Libs and Cons will come up with some sort of agreement, Cameron will be PM.

Quite how long the arrangement will last though is anyone's guess...I still think they will go to the country again before the year is out.

[ringram]

LibD have to go with Cons or face looking totally hypocrytical in regards to proportional representation.
To partner with Labour undermines their whole argument and makes electoral reform irrelevant.

[gtdc]

It will be whoever The Dark Lord wants it to be.

sounds like millipede is trying to scupper the deal with whispers to the lib dems, and adam boulton of sky news just said its getting to look like its fingers prised on the door frames of number 10.

What, after his glowing post-election speech telling of his pride of serving the constituents of Kirkcaldy? The people who know him best of all, the people he grew up with, the people who respect him for who he is and what he represents, the people wh...

I don't doubt for a minute that if a Lib/Lab coalition was viable then Clegg would be all over it. The reason he's only paying lip service to it is that such a coalition would still be significantly short of an overall majority and would last even less time than a Con/Lib alignment.

This. I doubt a coalition will last more than a year.

CMD will get his one and only shot at being PM, and he will be out in 18 months.

[poo at Paul's]

Miliband. Cable as Chancer, er Chancellor

[Don]

Not sure that CMD will get kicked out. Maybe.

It depends. If he can spend the next year going on TV and telling the electorate just how badly they got shafted by the previous administration he might convince people to vote tactically to give him a proper majority.

But if Labour can get themselves a new, untainted young handsome leader that's not actually an utter like Ed Balls then they will be giving him a run for his money.

I think the days of whonking majorities are over for a bit.

That presumes a Lib/Lab alliance.

Do you think the electorate would forgive Cleggy for letting Labour stay in power? Don't think so. And the difficulty of getting anything past the Tories 305(6) seats AT ALL would mean an election soon and that isn't going to favour the Lib Dems who don't have access to the Tories reserves of campaign funds.
