Miliband rules out being prime minister ever

[Unix]

"Interesting" as in we have several likely outcomes, only one of which will maintain the slow progress we're making and offers some hope that we will one day be back in the black. And anyone who seriously thinks Millipede and his union masters represent any kind of viable government no matter what combination of also-rans and delusionals they team up with seriously needs their head examined.

Not that I'm biased or anything...

The tories are out bar a miracle now if the polls are to be believed. It will be Labour propped up by a SNP/Lib dem/Green etc informal agreement. By 2020 we will be up to our eyeballs in debt again and Scotland will be independent.

HTH

But if SNP muck it up, they could lose all the seats they expect to steal from Labour.

This is good news for the SNP.

Care to expand on that.

If the SNP don't get any ministers they will ask for big concessions form Labour, SNP are not going to give way as easily as the Lib Dems did. Trident and a new referendum or kitchen sink devo.

Of course they are going to push for concessions.

The problem for Labour will be giving them.

The SNP unilaterally disarming the UK? And a taking out a large component of Western Europe's Defence capability at a time when the Russians are arming up and annexing Eastern European countries. Gonna go down badly.

Another referendum .... Do you think that Labour want to go down as the party who broke the Union? That's a terrible option for them .... they'd be a minority in Scotland and England at the same time and held accountable for the massive costs and huge political fallout that would occur from the dissolution of the Union. Interestingly the Tories probably wouldn't be too bothered. They'd rightly be able to pin the blame on Labour and would easily win the next election.


Kitchen Sink Devo .... Depends on whether they ( Labour ) would also push for devolvement of powers to the English regions at the same time. Otherwise they will risk further alienating the English and Welsh voters.

Tory-Labour coalition. It's the only sensible choice for the two main parties.

Can't let UKIP near the levers of power ... they'll destroy our relationship with our biggest trading partner.

Can't let SNP near the levers of power ... they'll destroy our country.

2 Year Con-Lab partnership ... allow time for the economy to fully recover and for the minority parties to fade.

Hmm, Cameron ruled out a Coalition with the Lib Dems:

Tory-Labour coalition

How would an Opposition and Shadow Cabinet be formed for the House of Commons? Wouldn't PMQs be a bit dull?

Yeah locking out most of the Scottish electorate will eliminate the SNP, what a utter nugget.

Democracy can't be overridden just because you don't like the outcome. With a hung parliament the SNP are going to have major power.

Well, Germany has what they call a 'Grand Coalition' of the right CDU and the left SPD...Grand coalition (Germany) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
