He certainly won't be able to make a living from public speaking like Princess Tony. He mumbles and is bereft of wit.

No real loss IMO, but a historic day for the country!

As an aside, it looks like the married persons tax allowance will be returning soon :y

Public sector pensions are not linked to anything in the real world, just how strong the unions are or how weak the govt. is. It will have to change very soon though, and it wouldnt matter that much who is in government.

Totally hypothetical who is in!
With Brown in, the government would have only lasted 6 weeks ish, until he fell out with the Libs ::)
Know it will be a couple of months ::) ::)

We will be back voting again soon :y

Decent bloke, poor PM, not very good Chancellor, meant well.

Not a two faced **** like Blair.

I hope he has some nice family time now with his young children.

This ill-judged mis-match of a coalition will be gone by Xmas at the latest, then we can have another election and this time more people should maybe pay more attention to the issues  ;)

I reckon the LibDems have sent the left of their party running to Labour, under a new voting system, Labour will be a shoe-in  :o

For the forseeable future  :o

I caught David Cameron's acceptance speech on TV a few minutes ago.  Mark - your version of the acceptance speech above would have been so much better.  Have you ever thought of sppech writing for Cameron?

I bet there's at least one "bigoted woman" who'd disagree. ;)

Who knows if the current arrangement will be any better but it certainly can't be any worse.

too right, he should of let the banks rot and kept the money spent proping up the banks, smaller banks would have emerged and given everyone a better service at no cost.

As much as I admired him as a good Chancellor, he was and still is the most pro european Tory minister they ever had. I still think Cameron should make him chancellor, but order him to say nothing on the subject of Europe.
