[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb]Well it'd make a change from all the rich Scots screwing up the country...well the part of the country that's England, while somehow giving themselves a separate government that makes Scotland a better run place to live. Odd that.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, that's what it is, a massive Scottish conspiracy to ruin England. You got us. Because it's not as if Scotland has suffered at the hands of previous governments, is it? No, all milk and honey up here. Jesus. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb]I'm generally coming round to the idea of a Tory government that can't do much. It won't last long - they'll never give the Lib Dems what they want in terms of electoral reform: indeed, the Tories' stated plans to reduce the number of MPs will make the Commons even LESS representative.[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree that if the Tories do go on to form a government then it won't last long - give it 9 months to a year and we'll all be back in the booths scratching out Xs on bits of paper again. However, if Clegg does make some kind of deal with the Tories - whether a formal coalition or just a deal by which a Tory minority government would function with Lib Dem abstentions on key votes - then his party will need to bear in mind that come the next election they're going to have to explain to the 5 million people who voted for a progressive, left-of-centre party why that progressive, left-of-centre party allowed a right-of-centre party to form a government when they had the chance to prevent it. All in all, very interesting. I am starting to wonder, though, just how long the major news networks can keep coming up with interesting new variations on the basic theme of "people sitting in studio not knowing what is going on". :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
