North of the border, in Bonnie Scotland, a 'clegg' is another name for a horse-fly, a creature that spends most of its life sitting on top of a pile of horseshit. This is another fine example of how, as a Union, we are more similar than different.....
Red Rag

Your use of grammar shows you to be a perfect example of Labours' failure in education. As for red rag, we used that phrase to describe sanitary towels when I was a lad. Fitting.
Silent Hunter
You hope! LOL
Typical Labour sour grapes - who the hell would want to get hitched to the warmongering Labour Party?
Red Rag
Mr Hunter - As I said at the time, and has now been proven, but you denied.....Vote Clegg get Cameron!
Poor Pensioner
Regarding the present occupant of No. 10 Downing Street, who has no legal right as far as the British Public have authorised, following his defeat in the General Election; to make a claim for expenses for the continued occupation of same. In other words, we believe him to now be "Squatting " illegally. He was unelected as Prime Minister in the first place, therefore he should move or should have moved out the day when the elections proved against him. The longer he stays, the worse our economic chances are of the new Government taking action to sort the mess out. Hop it Brown. We don't want you in No. 10 anymore, get it ?

Christ, the ignorance.
1) It is the constitutional norm for the incumbent to stay until a new government can be formed. He hasn't been doing anything to obstruct the other parties. It is entirely proper that he stay while discussions are still being carried out.
2) Brown was elected to his seat. You don't elect individual ministers directly, prime or not. Unless you were in Cameron's constituency you didn't vote for him, and those that did voted him as a member of parliament, not as prime minister, same as Brown.
You don't know what you are talking about. Please learn how parliament works.

I am praying for a LibLab pact. Why should Cameron and The Tories get the blame for the economic wasteland.

Well, it seems as though Clegg is going to be playing one off against the other for a while to come. It was nice to see him put in his place and suggest that the Tory's had the right to form a government. When he had been so smug and well, rude at the debates. At the end of the day clegg will have no chance with his amount of seats at gaining power. So he must pick one or the other, opting for the Tory's is most beneficial as they have the largest following and the public have lost faith in labour and its scapegoat Brown. I doubt Brown will have the guts to approach D.C. and i would wager that he is repeating his slogan, 'i agree with' a fair few times whilst in talks with Clegg. I am disappointed with the idea that Clegg would be part of a Tory government however, The power lays in the hands of D.C now. As long as D.C continues to remind Clegg of this then i can see a successful party. I would not be giving any credit cards or such like to Clegg if i were D.C. If Clegg wanted money alone he would be running back to the E.U. At the moment although he is holding cards, there are not providing a winning hand. He is currently thriving off the attentions of both leaders as he did in the debates. I would believe Clegg wishes to follow in churchills footsteps and play party against party however, he is doing this not due to own beliefs but own desires. He probably believes he could some how gain more power than he is entitled to. Hoping that he could pass a fair amount on to the E.U and start to integrate more E.U power into the government. Which ultimately leaves him with less in the hand, but what he is seeking is popularity. So the public's attentions (in the bush) will be a good enough replacement for extra E.U regulations he would have to adhere to. Although Clegg for all his bark , hasn't the equivalent in bite. I could see things going very wrong for him, if the E.U were to be allowed to govern as a united states of Europe. He would find he no longer had a place in that governing body as there are many more people in Europe with more knowledge than himself. He is but a childhood actor. He is certainly not P.M material where as... David Cameron, well, he most definitely is. I would advise Clegg to look before he leaps and D.C to keep a very keen eye on how far Clegg is intending to leap before he does.
