The most enjoyable aspect to all these ponderous machinations between Cameron and Clegg is the fact that it must be driving Gordon Brown absolutely insane.
Now he knows how WE feel. Kept out of the loop, with the only inevitable certainty being that you are going to get shafted at some stage.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Originally posted by MrMark View PostThere's a clue in the name "Conservative and Unionist Party".
I agree that Scottish independence would give an big electoral advantage to the Conservatives in England, and since they can't get any support in Scotland they may go down this route. Yet they (as indeed are all the major parties) are still keen to keep Scotland in the union, which makes me suspect Scotland is still of great value to the United Kingdom.
Maybe whisky is the one export we can rely on?

Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostLib Dems 'secretly' met with Labour over weekend.
So what exactly are Lib Dems trying achieve here? If there is a snap election they will get wiped out just for trying to hold the country to ransom.
Its simple. If they are okay with Cnservative coalition just put the terms on the table. Take it or leave it.
Why keep meeting both Lab and Cons ?
It is quite possible that this is just a little brinkmanship from the Libdems to get a better deal out of the Tories, like a contractor telling an agent that they are not going to sign a contract in order to get a better rate.
But at the same time it does look like Mandelson is working hard on this so he must think they have a chance and he is no mug.Comment
