less than a year before the coalition collapses - first major EU issue and its bust.

I think he's probably busy making a cup of tea at the moment whilst sifting though Gordon's internet browsing history on the office PC.

The media will give then a few weeks then start looking to prise open cracks.

God have mercy on our souls and wallets now the Tory pigs have got their snots fully in the trough!

Dunno just watch and see what happens-which could be anything.

must be galling knowing nobody trusted him enough to get a majority and that he's had to go cap in hand to Nicky
PM's question time might be entertaining
backhander, those are't grapes fella

err it's pretty weird. Nice to see the machinery of our constitution working tho.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Ohh Luthers on.

Backhander them grapes have just gone up by 10%

Me too. Got exactly the outcome I wanted.
Oh, one to two years I reckon. Three at a push.

I wonder if they will repeal IR35.

If he has a good few months...I daresay he'll abandon all ties with lib dems and call an election to go for an overall majority. if not, they're gonna have to take it day by day and see what happens.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I think that tempered by the libdems, it will probably be a more successful government than if the torys had won an overall majority. I certainly hope so, I would like to return to the uk one day.

Well I'm open minded erring on a positive attitude to what the future might bring. What's the point in being negative? Cam's not a bad bloke.

4 years by the sound of the fixed term election stuff...

Not sure, as the raising of the base tax code to £10k will be supported by all parties and Cameron can easily kick the voting issue into the long grass, otherwise known as a committee. I reckon he's got 18 months before and real issues will raise their heads.
And its only a problem, if the Tories make it a problem - they can get any legislation through, as long as they have LibDem support.

6 months before the whole house of cards comes tumbing in. It'll be his own rabid right-wing bacbenchers that'll bring him down before the Lib dems even get a look in

Id definately like to see the lib dems tempering the cons more right wing leanings, i still think we need a rise in employers NI and vat, as well as cuts in the public sector and here id like to see the lib dems make sure that the cuts arent too deep too quickly.
looks like lib dems got marriage and inheritence tax breaks!
im guessing the first big issue will be the bailout of greece are we contributing or not?
oh dear ive just heard osborne will be chancellor, lets hope he exceeds my expectations
camerons test will be in placating the shadow cabinet ministers the incoming lib dems are forcing out and whether he will be able to placate the old guard over the PR thing
i expect the press will give him an easy ride to start with anywayPosted 2 years ago # -
Cam's not a bad bloke.
He comes over as one. The way he behaved in PMQs was nothing short of disgraceful. Politics of bluster, implies to me that he wants to be in power for the sake of it, not because he really believes he has ideas to make the country a better place.

Teh tension between the swivel eyed xenophobes and the Lib dems will be the ruin of the coalition - its the obvious fracture line. Cameron is beholden to the eurosceptic right so has to appease them - but that will infuriate the lib dems
Unless he has pulled a masterstroke and given the lib dems responsibility for Europe and / or foreign policy

Well we shall see and I think his insticts are good - however he is beholden to the tory right and to Murdoch - paying them back and keeping the lib dems on side will be very hard. Look for the BBC being dismantled and our isolation in Europe.

I agree with TJ and binners - combo of bitter and twisted back benchers and european issues (could the Tories be any more wrong on Europe?) will set them all off. That and the media picking holes and stirring it up. 6 months before they are on the back foot, 18 months before in real pooh and 3 years out on their ears. Shame really cos I voted Liberal this year and 2005 and predicted this coalition when noone expected it 18 months ago but the Tories just do not have the policies, the intellectual firepower or the heart for running a sinking a ship such as UK 2010 and the Liberals aren't big enough to stop it going wrong.

4 years at least .... hopefully a lot longer ...
Just by Thankful we didn't get the war crim BLIAR back
Now that would have been a nightmare

I reckon he'll have no problems with his new Liberal MP chums. But the Thatcherite back bench committee will give him hell.

So TJ - who do you reckon for Scottish Secretary?
With 12 Scottish seats, do you think that'll reduce the "no mandate" line?
With Scots now governed by the 3rd and 4th most popular parties, how do you reckon the next Holyrood elections will pan out?Posted 2 years ago #
