Has he?

The guy is a clown. He totally ignores the fact that most Scots do not want independence. A Scottish Nationalist leader who won't offer a referendum on independence because he knows he's got no chance. That's the calibre of the man.

At the election last week he predicted the SNP would increase their Scottish seats from 7 to 20. They got 6.

Not quite. Anyway Brown off to see the Queen, so she can hand over to that Tory twat. Labour can leave in the knowledge that they didn't give in to Lib demands - Tories have.

Suspect that Labour will be in a strong position in 5 years time ............not having to listen to any coalition partners....and Libs and Cons having to deal with this massive pile .............. that has been left

Thats if it lasts 5 years

if I was Cameron I would put Clegg/Cable in charge of those jobs that will attract most flak in next few years................

There was a backlash today apparantly by some Labour MPs who woke up to the fact that Peter Mandleson and Alistair Campbell actually think they run the country and that they were exerting undue influence in the negotiations........neither of whom are elected at all by anybody.......

The SNP got a whole 3% more of the vote than the conservatives in Scotland. I suppose they might pick up a bit if they can exploit a conservative government in Westminster.

Scotland didn't vote/want for a Tory PM, 1 seat they got.

At least now I know the outcome I can get back to my day job........either way I think Britain will be a pretty miserable place over the next 5 years. I just want pound recovery against the canadian dollar.....for selfish reasons.
