"David
For what it is worth, here is my view on the possibility of a Lib-Lab coalition.
Let them have their "coalition of losers".
Within six months, if that, it will fall apart as a result of unreasonable demands made by minority regional parties and the "swivel eyed" members of the Liberal party.
The public will see through this quickly enough as being nothing more than a mechanism to keep Brown in office as PM.
Once it has fallen apart, and an election held, the Tory party will gain the majority it needs to govern without having to go cap in hand to Clegg.
Kind regards

For the sake of balance, equally one could have written to Gordon Brown:
ReplyDelete"For what it is worth, here is my view on the possibility of a Tory-Lib coalition."
Blah, blah...
"Within six months, if that, it will fall apart as a result of unreasonable demands by the silver-spooned upper-class toffs that regulate the upper echelons of the Tory party."
"The public will see through this quickly enough as being nothing more than a mechanism to push Cameron into office with barely more than a third of the popular vote, and nothing like a majority of seats."
:-P
Brown became prime minister, when his illustrious predecessor stepped down, without a mandate from the electorate, and if we get a Lab-Lib coalition, the new prime minister will also have avoided the inconvenience of an election. Cameron may indeed have received barely a third of the votes cast, but the same was true of Blair in 2005, yet he ended up with a majority of 60 seats! One cannot help wondering whether it would have made any difference if those prevented from casting their votes had been able to do so? One thing for sure, things are a right mess and, if this had happened in Zimbabwe or some other shall we say, 'questionable' state, there would have been protests from our politicians about a rigged voting system, corruption, etc
ReplyDeleteI am fed up with this idea being repeated, again and again, that we elect our Prime Minister. We do NOT elect our Prime Minister. When I voted last Thursday I don't recall seeing the names of David Cameron, Nick Glegg or Gordon Brown on my ballot paper. Custom dictates that the leader of the winning party becomes Prime Minister and the leaders are elected by the party membership and I have absolutely no problem with that.
ReplyDeleteI cast a vote for my constituency MP, but in this case my chosen candidate was unsuccessful, and flawed though our electoral system is, I accept the result of that ballot.
I think Nick Clegg and David Cameron have behaved impeccably in the current situation. For once we have seen some real statesmanship and Nick Clegg was right to talk to Labour as well as the Conservatives.
