An agreement has been reached according to sky news.

Between Tories and Lib Dems. No real details as yet.

I have a question for those who know...

When it comes to voting on things in the future, does a coalition between the Cons and LibDem mean that Lib Dems will 'toe the party line' and vote with the Conservatives or will they be free to vote against them if they want to?

I can't believe that anyone genuinely thinks/thought that the libdems were any kind of rational alternative. Really.

If you voted LD it's your bloody fault we are in this mess in the first place

Fuck, do you think DC grew Nick in a petree dish and planted him the lib dem camp??

It was planned all along

heheh

And if there was any doubt, no, Lib Dem vote is emphatically NOT a wasted vote.

Not from the tory point of view.

Guys, calm down, it's not news till it's on the BBC.

Clegg has to get it past his party, anyway. (Assuming the tories have no internal democratic process about this sort of thing?)

Well we don't know the deal yet so how can you say it is bad?

I take it all the people moaning on this thread are traditional labour voters who will vote labour next time anyway.

Nick Clegg will be critcised whatever he does. He is doing the honourable thing in talking to the party with the most votes.

I voted lib dem and would be happy with a tory/lib dem govt preferably with a fairer voting system.

The lib dems have not said they are ditching all their policies and the tories haven't said this either. There is no majority government so compromises have to be made.

i feel violated!

When my missus arrives at the Fonz chateau tonight im gonna tell her two things:

1. you basically voted Tory
2. im gonna demand a celebrity shag and then im gonna seduce Miriam and bring down the whole govt. my potential affair with roxy from eastenders is history.

It might be no further on from what we already knew this morning.

I really like our MP, too. He actually cares about his constituents.

But a vote for him means a vote for the Tories, and I can't countenance that for anything.

Why are you panicking? Are you Alex Salmond, Gordon or Peter Mandleson?

PR will take a decade or so to enact - much more than one parliamentary term! We're where we were three months ago but with a chap whose smile doesn't make you nervous!

Exactly, wait til it's on the BBC.

I mean at this moment in time we have no idea what the deal is. It could just mean that the tories have decided to stump up for bacon sandwiches whilst the ramblings on negotiations continue.

Dueling, it doesn't look as if it's going to be a coalition. It looks as if it's giong to be confidence & supply plus, which means that the Lib Dems vote with the Tories on certain agreed things (i.e. the things they've been agreeing on over the last couple of days) and are and are free to vote how they want to on the rest.

I voted LD and I'm happy.

I wonder if Clegg realises how many people voted for him to keep the Tories out!

He will never be forgiven. The people of Scotland took a generation to forgive the SNP for siding with the Tories against Jim Callaghan.

Ah, it's the public school thing. Dave and Nick both speak the same language.

(Much as it pains me to say it, as I loathe the Lib Dems nearly as much as I loathe Labour.)

If it means the Conservatives end up in government I shall, for once, be grateful to Lib Dem voters.

here

(Oh, and the BBC will claim it's a lefty victory until the Tories have won every seat in the country, so I wouldn't listen to a single word they say.)

'Are you Alex Salmond, Gordon or Peter Mandleson? '

They have gold-plated pensions, at least.

Calm down everyone.

Can we at least wait to hear what the deal IS, before we jump all over it.

Plus the LDs always made it clear if there was a hung parliament they would talk to the party with most votes/seats. So why did people take the risk of voting LD if a deal with the Tories was unacceptable to them?

no deal made yet

but that's the problem isn't it, people didn't vote LibDem, they lost seats.

that is why he probably is willing to talk to Conservative, some chance at giving his party a future, his MPs a role.

at a time when their popularity was high, that didn't translate into votes.
