Reply to: It's going to be a Labour / Liberal Pact!!

[lukemg]

Feeling strangley optimistic this morning. Yeah, clearly a dit of a cobbled together deal and fragile but not seen any lib policies getting in that I really object to. Main policies are likely to me more pro-me overall and there is a commitment to reign in the incredibly stupid behemoth known as the public sector. It really could be worse !

Remember I (1) used to work at Parliament.

Word on the (2) street from one of my ex-muckers who is a senior Civil servant that there has just been an almighty expletive from behind 'a very senior tory's' door next to his office.

Watch for it on the news in the next 30 ( 3) minutes!

(1) normally talk complete bollocks.
(2) SUN website page 3 girls ballon chat boxes
(3) years, eventually it'll happen

Labour have given up on talks

BREAKING NEWS
Number 10 recognises that talks with the Lib Dems have not and will reach not any positive conclusion, and they are now discussing the method of declaring that their side of the negotiation is over, BBC Radio 5 Live's political correspondent Jon Pienaar says.

I can help with that.

Step 1; phone Pickfords and order a removal van
Step 2; load personal stuff into it
Step 3; **** off and don’t come back again

Not wanting to sound paranoid and all that, but your mate had better watch what he IMs or texts from the Houses of Parliament.

It's a no-brainer that GCHQ must log every message that goes in or out of there (even though in past years there was an understanding that the Security Services wouldn't bug MPs).

You credit GCHQ with way too much ability. Yes, there're a good few contractors to get proper work done, but they're mostly staffed with career civil savants.

They will give a tulip; they’ll want to bend the scrooge over and shaft him by demanding pay deals and no-redundancy deals for civil servants. Basically they’ll hold the country to ransom to get what they want. Have they ever done anything else?

Mich, I think we're saying the same thing.

[Muttley08]

Labour are giving up...and even better they're starting to have a go at the fact Mandy and that other cretin are unelected and making decisions for both the Labour party and the country...sense prevails at last!

[d000hg]

Labour folk seem to be queuing up to tell BBC 'it's over'.



Though they might be trying to swing the odds and place a sneaky bet.

[Mich the Tester]

Who probably won't give a tulip so long as they still have their stooge in place.

What a tragic mess this whole thing is.

Labour would have to sell a deal to the unions.

The liberal democrats have a hard job selling any deal to their party membership, which they need to do. Unless Clegg gets 75% support from MPs and the ruling executive, it goes to the party. Many won't want a deal with Tories without full PR. Many won't want a deal with Labour.

I'm betting on a Tory minority government without a formal deal in place. Election this time next year, as Cameron will argue he can't govern effectively, but will still have post election bump and before Labour can regroup.

It's my belief that Brown going is a clear indication that it'll be a Lib-Lab coalition.

Which I think is the best result for the country and the Tories, since it won't last long and then there'll be another decisive General Election once the public have seen the mess that the Lib-Lab coalition will cause.
