Lib/Lab coalition? UK implications?

32 replies

I was pondering how a Lib/Lab would work as it doesn't have a working majority and friend on FB put in reply "They would bring in the Welsh and the Scots nationalists which would mean loads of spending cuts for England and their spending will be protected so you and I in England will be paying off the deficiet while our celt friends will have their service ring fenced..... can't blame them for putting their peeps first pity our politicians don't do the same"

That hadn't occurred to me before, could this further divide the UK?

Agree Dreaming

What these last few days has taught me is that I never want PR.

Imagine going through this mess every time.

So much for all the bullshit 'working together' we heard during the leader's debate.

wetaug - very pleased to here that.

i'm so mad. this current situation is so undemocratic - what right has nick clegg got to decide who governs. conservatives got the most votes and MPs elected, therefore they shoudl govern. end of story

I work for the public sector and I would welcome a Tory landslide

They also need the DUP so basically it's not going to happen

there are too many people on benefits and working for the public sector for a tory landslide

It'll be like the last days of the Major Govt when every MP's vote counted - to the extent that they wheeled one into the Commons to vote while he was in an oxygen tent!

Meanwhile the pund will plummet - our bonds will be downrated - our deficit will increase.

And because the British people cannot stand unfairness they will vote the Tories in by a landslide at the next election - which will probably be around October when the rainbow Coalition falls apart.

Bring it on!
