    Can't see Clegg going for that one.
    I don't think Clegg will go because he likes his shiny ministerial car too much, but I wouldn't bank on the Tories winning a majority.

    I wouldn't be sure that labour wouldn't get back in, they gained seats and there are still over half to be declared.

    There is an anti "big Society" poster in Manchester bleating on about less police, less nurses, less bin men etc...

    Some enterprising and noble soul has added to the list: "And less benefit scum"

    I don’t think Dave should be so smug, the only reason they didn’t lose seats in the north is because they didn’t have any in the first place.
    Listening to various Lib Dems defending the reason they had to drop most of their pre election pledges was the finacial crisis. But wasn't the crisis already well established by then? More like they got a sniff of power and conceded too much, like a niave contractor accepting 45 hours a week on £149 a day to work at a bank for the first time.
