Reply to: David Cameron Resigns!

Probably have a panic attack and leave a nasty yellow stain the length of whitehall

That would be a shame. The cleaners have only just got rid of the nasty red stain that was there for 13 years.

They wouldn't know what to do with themselves.

Isn't that what happened when Gordo ousted Blair?

If Cameron resigned wouldn't we have Clegg as acting PM? I think the lib dems may be adding pressure on the cons if that's the case!

I think DodgyA just felt a stirring down below

And rightly so

Cameron can resign without an election being called: the coalition simply appoints a new leader, HMQEII accepts Cameron's resignation and then asks the new pop pick to form a Government.

This could be the chance to wheel Maggie back in

"Wheel" is probably the operative word at her age.

BBC News - David Cameron faces questions as Met commissioner quits

Pressure increasing.

Ken Clarke has been mooted by some

Were that to happen, I think there might be a bit of a credibility issue thrown up by the opposition.

As for Clarke, he's got a brilliant mind but I'm not convinced by his leadership skills. But then, I've never met the man.

i think you'll find that the murdered girls phones were hacked whilst labour was in power

If you foxtrot with Mephistopheles and all that.

[Spacecadet]

Yeah, let's keep Cameron, Murdoch and the rest of right wing cronies who hack murdered girls phones in power.

I can't see that changing for some time. Thank god. Don't want those lefty twats in again for a bloody long time.

Hes not to blame but hiring Coulson has been political suicide.

I think you (and the left leaning media) give more of a tulip than the majority of the voting population tbh.

According to blighty, Coulson was Osbourne's pick. I don't think it's a big enough deal to make Cameron resign - we are a long way from a GE and this is a timewasting sideshow.

Even after all this noise, his approval rating is still 8-9 points over Millipede, who has only managed to scrape up to 26% (ish - that's from memory).

It will take him being personally implicated in a proper scandal to oust him before term, and Coulson just doesn't cut it.

[russell]

Not really. Murdoch is a bit of a muppet and has let his empire run riot for too long.

High ranking policeman (esp. in the met) are much more likely to resign than retire.

I find it strange that you think Cameron is to blame though. Typically woolly socialist thinking.
