I know that Brown is PM until he resigns, but what happens if he decides to throw a tantrum about Cameron and Clegg stitching up a coalition against him?
The other route is where Brown loses a vote of confidence by the House. Legally, that is definitive curtains.
P.S. Has everyone got the popcorn in?
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
Brownstuff is the biggest utter scumbag PM ever. Except maybe Grocer Heath. I hope, if there is an afterlife, that bastard is having a miserable time...
...with large pinapples.
Grocer Heath was a poor PM but at least he was actually elected, and had a few inter-personal skills.
But virtually every non Tory MP is anti-Tory anyway (NI Unionist MP's are probably the only exception).
NL+LD+SNP+PC = 325-SF
The maths do add up - but only just. The question is - what would be the SNP/PC price. While they will be aiming for a high price - simply keeping the Tories out may be considered adequate payment.
NL+LD would automatically include the SDLP (3) and Alliance (1). Add SNP and remove SF from the equation and that gives you a majority, even if Con take Thirsk (which is now by no-means a given).
ConDem would spell the end of any chance for electoral reform, and the Liberals would never forgive Clegg for getting so little in return.
Rainbow alliance to bring in a referendum for electoral reform in the next six months, followed by a swift election afterwards under the conditions supported by the referendum. Cameron's pledge for a committee is worthless - he will have called a new election under the new boundary changes and won a mandate under FPTP long before the committee reports. And do we really need a committee to tell us that FPTP is not the best system?
HABs not a moron!!!. Oh sorry I see what you mean.......
I try my best to be a moron, but I can only aspire to reach the intellectual heights of others with 5-figure post counts on CUK.
Or are you referring to my sexual orientation and doing word play?
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
