a few LibDems move into Conservative Posts.
And Nick Modifys his Conservative - LibDem Policies.
David Cameron Modifys his Conservative System
and becomes PM.



Its all New Chewy.

It'll last around a year I think, we'll have another election sooner rather then later.

Yes as the Meetings are doing so well.


As Dezzy stated he wants the LibDems who enter the Conservative Posts
to keep a 24/7 watch on them.


So see this as a David Cameron PM
with new Bolder LibDem Co-System.



It will be Far Far better
than New Dead Labour.




It Is Time For Radical Change.

The one thing that favours a workable coalition is the personalities of the two party leaders which are actually more similar than dissimilar in terms of background and life experiences (unlike Brown and Clegg lol). Brown must be about to spontaneously combust as he watches his dreams of glueing himself to Cleggy boy go down the toilet.

What everyone has forgotten in all of this is the Monarch's constitutional right to influence the outcome, and she is more than likely to agree to a minority Tory government should Cameron request to go it alone. The precedence for this is the 1974 election when Ted Heath (the then PM), with only 297 seats, was unable to reach an agreement with the Liberal leader, Thorpe who had won 14 seats, and Heath resigned. Harold Wilson then formed a minority government with only 301 seats. Six months later there was another General Election and Wilson was returned to power with a small majority.

That will be good so that the Conservatives can win with an overall majority.

gee you talk rubbish.
"What everyone has forgotten in all of this is the Monarch's constitutional right to influence the outcome".
For starters UK doesn't have a constitution...parliamentary convention and custom are based on precedent so talking of a"constitution" highlights your own lack of knowledge of your own country parliament. Sad really given your condescending tone when you seaid "wha everyone has forgotten".
But here's what is REALLY funny. The queen not only has NO constitutional right to influence elections but it's amazing you think she ought to be able to . So you want an unelected toff to override democracy. Shows what little respect or true understanding you have for the concept "angus". The queen only has a "right" to vote like the rest of you and chooses NOT to vote for fear of seeming to influence elections. That's right... none of your royals vote ...they want to AVOID influencing election.( but angus wants them to actually step in and choose for the electorate). You'd be scary if you weren't so funny.
mahahahahaha!!

Just because the Monarch does NOT intervene, does not mean she does not have the constitutional RIGHT to do so if events ever called for her to do so. I suggest you go back and read what I actually said before trying to twist my words to suit your own agenda. The monarch cannot "influence elections" my dear aussie chump but she could, if she so chose, influence the outcome of this present predicament we find ourselves in. The GBP have already spoken and the Conservatives have the most seats, like it or not. Oh,and by the way, where on earth do you get the idea that we do not have any constitutional conventions?

If a time came to pass, for instance, when a law threatened the freedom or security of her subjects and citizens, the Queen could decline royal assent, free as she is from the constraints of party politics. Furthermore, armed removal of her by Parliament or Government would be difficult, as the monarch remains commander-in-chief of the armed forces, who swear an oath of allegiance to her.

I talk rubbish? LOL - Some of your posts are virtually incoherent and totally pointless. Condescending and arrogant? Pot/Kettle springs to mind

Analysts also predicting that Cameron will lead a minority government, with a general election in the autumn when he will hope to gain a majority. It's either that or a rainbow coalition with Labour having to concede to demands from four different parties in order to get a majority.
