Full term.

The Lib-Dems don't stand any chance of being in any sort of power by themselves. Clegg is Deputy PM, and no doubt Cable will become Business secretary. They're hardly going to want out, so will just go along with what the Tories say.

Its your life and your future which depend on all this boring politics. If you can't be bothered to take an interest, you certainly won't be in a position to complain about anything!

Far too early to say. It really depends on how those two work together and how amenable the two parties are towards each other.

As ever, we shall have to wait and see.

I can't vote in this poll anyway.

He has a point though Les.
I think he mentioned political posts/threads, not politics in general.
Also we dont have that much say over policies as most of it is done behind the scenes

The only thing that the two parties can agree on is that they want to be in power. Everything else - Europe, tax, immigration, the CJS, business, the lot - they have completely opposite views. Every vote will be a quid pro quo: "we'll support you over immigration if you support us over taxes" or whatever. I give it six months.

It is a poor position all round. The Conservatives will not be able to do all of what they feel is necessary, which could be a good or a bad thing.

Its the best of a bad job and none of us can really see ahead accurately although I will not be surprised to see another election before too long.

We'll I reckon in 6 months cracks will be starting to show.

However I'm sure Clegg has some sort of tangible asset to prevent getting shafted by Cameron.

The way your mind seems to work, you must live in a state of constant physical excitement.

You don't have any idea what sort of pleasure I enjoy on my travels through life, and I am not going to tell you, so you will have to use your imagination!
