      Yep and he did it, how does he envisage forming a government with the polls so tight and SNP being by far the 3rd biggest party.

        He's presumably worried Labour swing voters are worried by the prospect and is more focused on getting the most votes he can, and worry about that later.

        He doesn't need a coalition, a loose alliance (I forget the proper term) could suffice.

          Once they get the votes, then we the electorate have no say in the kind of government we get. Our only hope is an elderly German lady, and she never does anything.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Instead of them whispering vote Blair get Brown, it's vote Milliband get the Krankies
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              The election is going to be interesting as is the government that follows.

                He'll be planning on an informal "Supply And Confidence" arrangement. That is the SNP do not get any Ministerial jobs but agree to back the government on key votes. In return for what though?

                But Labour is in a bind. Shame.

                  "Interesting" as in we have several likely outcomes, only one of which will maintain the slow progress we're making and offers some hope that we will one day be back in the black. And anyone who seriously thinks Millipede and his union masters represent any kind of viable government no matter what combination of also-rans and delusionals they team up with seriously needs their head examined.

                  Not that I'm biased or anything...
                  Blog? What blog...?

                    If the SNP don't get any ministers they will ask for big concessions form Labour, SNP are not going to give way as easily as the Lib Dems did. Trident and a new referendum or kitchen sink devo.
