I would rather see Labour in parliment than the Tories but I would rather see Tories and Lib/Dem do it this time round as I dont believe it will work .. method behind my madness
neither do I think Lib Dem /Lab will work in the long run for labour..

Breaking news on BBC News Channel: Tories and Lib Dems talking again.
Tony Benn being interviewed as well, on about the last time it happened in 1974.
Many Labour MP's are opposed to coalition.

Actually Tony Benn has just said something really interesting and right... nobody has voted for a government with a clear majority, maybe the best thing would be just to call another election. This is going to end up with the Queen having to use her limited powers by asking one of the leaders (probably Cameron) to form a minority government.
I haven't seen so much of William Hague since he was leader, he's popping up everywhere at the moment!

Personally I think Gordon should come out of number 10 and announce. 'Sorry guys - all offers have now been withdrawn ......good luck - get on with it.' Clegg needs the rug pulled from under his feet - he's playing them like fiddles.
I think we can take it as given that the tories are in.
I think it will inevitably be a Conservative/Lib-Dem coalition just looking at the numbers involved. If Labour, the Lib-Dems and every other MP they can lay their hands on they can't really command a convincing majority and every vote in Parliament could be touch and go. Added to that it seems that Scottish Labour MPs and SNP MPs hate each other with a passion that I was unaware of until yesterday.. (interesting what you learn when you pay attention 
) and that would make it a very uneasy alliance.
A few Labour MPs are saying face defeat, get a new younger leader and revitalise into an effective opposition ready for the next election. Inevitably the sort of cuts that anyone in power will have to make is not going to make any government popular and possibly come the next election Labour can command a majority all by themselves.. provided PR isn't in place by then

From BBC
1618: Confusing signals coming from the Lib Dems. A frontbench Lib Dem source has told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that a deal between his party and the Tories will be announced later today. But, in response to the question, "Have the talks collapsed with Labour?" another Lib Dem insider has told our correspondent Mike Sergeant: "No. Our expectation is that talks will continue."

That'll be the lightbulbs, silver tea spoons and candlearbra no doubt.
Well there is a meeting of Lib Dem MPs at 7:30pm tonight. Given the governing rules of the Lib Dem then Nick Clegg will need a 75% approval vote to proceed so I guess by 8pm the shouting should be over.... hmmmmm

The $64,000 question is have the Lib Dems shot their reputation to pieces for ever? Tarting themselves about, glad I didn't vote for them.
