Gordon brown resigns.
So if LIb dems do deal with labour - ANOTHER unelected PM.

Wow. There are so many twists and turns!

So how do all the lib dem voting HE MNs feel about Balls as PM? I suppose it means that he'll be leaving education alone..

patienceplease · 10/05/2010 17:21

I might go and bet on an october election...
certinly before 2011.

FakePlasticTrees · 10/05/2010 17:21

what is it with the labour party and picking unpopular people as unelected PM's? Gordon has been v unpopular for a long time, Balls isn't thought much more highly, can they not go for someone with a bit of charm?

I think a Milliband. I would start thinking about leaving the country if Ed Balls became the leader.

I think this will mean that con/lib dem talks will stop, and the lib dems will go along with labour.
Not sure what that says about the lib dems being keen on PR. Isn't that all abut what the people voted for? But LD and labour came 2nd and 3rd...
that doesn't sound right does it?

(Belle now looking at emigration requirements)

I don't think Clegg know's what he wants. He seems to hold all the cards though (god help us).

Brown has just made a speech - guess the websites need updating.

Major won an election. Brown didn't and if they go for a new leader and lib lab pack, they really have to go for a second general election in the Autumn...

I'm a bit about how the hell they can hold together a lib, lab, SNP & PC coallition without every little thing taking massive haggling. at least we won't have knee jerk politics, it'll be lots of doing as little as possible...

Cartoose · 10/05/2010 17:18

I was all set for Con/LibDem

patienceplease · 10/05/2010 17:18

But which miliband?
There was a suggestion somewhere that they would both run, partly to deflect votes away from Balls

Coolfonz · 10/05/2010 17:17

Half of Thatcher's cabinet ministers were unelected...

Madsometimes · 10/05/2010 17:17

Oh Nick! What are you thinking of!

Cartoose · 10/05/2010 17:17

It will def be Milliband. I'm sure of it.
