PAULB
We then have to look to th alternative, is this a better co olition made up of different parties? or a labour govt?
just wanting rid of the present govt without thinking it through is serious stuff.

Well I think its a racing certainty that the Libdem vote will collapse in the next general election. Its like you said earlier Clegg might not even hold on to Sheffield. However its up to Labour to capitalise on this collapse. Although the Tories are unpopular now with all the cuts, they have a strategy, cut early in the term and throw the electorate some sweeteners in three or four years time before the next election and they could win again. Recent elections seem to show the electorate prefer to stick with the incumbents for a second term.
Mark good to have you back with us after the layoff.
I dont think any coalition would work in this country , we have two main parties with firm identities , i would rather one party to get enough votes to run the country on there own .
Thanks Paul , its good to be back .

SORRY
I don't ever want a tory govt strong(in your view)or not
nearly lost my house when they in govt before i have a long memory, thats without all the rest they have got up to in the past and present, so no i dont want a co olition but if you dont want that you have to decide what you do want.
For me personally i don't ever want an outright tory govt strong or otherwise(and of course that definition of strong can be seen differently depending on what you mean by strong)
so it's realy up to ED to build his party up he has time
think he's geting better at it,

My point is i think coalitions dont work , i also do not want a torie goverment i remember the mess they made in the ninetys , they however seem to have forgotten .

Mr Clegg's legacy. This, plus setting democracy back a generation (by botching up the AV vote), will be how history remembers him.
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

A wag opined online that Facebook needed to appoint someone to bring trust back to them after recent disclosures, so they appoint someone that nobody trusts.

The founders of Facebook said it would always be free to users, things could change now that Nick runs the show.
