I was quite pleased about the coalition, anything to get rid of New Labour.
With Brexit hindsight I wish I'd voted for Brown. Or Milliband.

No, no no - nothing of that dirty sort.Originally posted by Gonzo View PostYou mean, the government has started printing the money?

The Govt does not print money, it just sells 10-20 year gilts.
BoE prints money to buy gilts by proxy, but don't worry it will get its money back in 20 years.

His party might not allow him to unite with Tories, even though they got first chance to negotiate a deal. That was his choice, as he said beforehand, rather than going straight to Labour.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostIt's meaningless and disingenuous statement if by that he didn't mean support.

Well, GBP is holding up and there was no trouble with raising an extra £2,500,000,000 of government borrowing this morning so perhaps that is a sign that the markets do not fear the lib-lab government.
