They are filling in time until Cameron goes to the Palace to be
appointed PM in about 15 mins time (apparently). It looks as though
Cameron will become PM before any deal has been done with the Lib Dems.

Excellent recipe for disaster.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Brown wanted to be out of Number 10 and
into somewhere else in time for his young sons' bedtime.

Cameron's friends have already been teaching him how to destroy the BBC.

I wonder if someone was doing a spot of long-term strategic thinking. By
tipping the balance of power in Cameron's favour, the libs get a weaker
position in the new govt. However their MPs are still committed to it but
become essentially invisible members of a conservative administration.
Come the next election their lack of influence means there will be fewer
people willing to vote for them as they become synonyous with conservatism.
It also means that in the run-up to the next election any leaders
debate couldn't really be held between 3 leaders, as 2 of them are part
of the same government.
Hmmm.

good grief

We are now leaving an era of high levels of stupidity and incompetence
in government.

Unfortunately, we are entering an era of even higher levels of both.

Indeed. Also, Cameron seems happy to blame Brown exclusively for this
recession so no doubt the country will blame him for the measures he takes
to get out of it.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Dimbleby even said something along the lines (can't remember the exact
words) of, "Interesting to note how the guards saluted Mr. Brown as his
car passed, even though he is no longer the Prime Minister."
INTERESTING???

AARRGGHH!!!!!!

I suppose when all you've got to watch is someone driving a car, you've got
to grasp at straws!

It seems to me that the LDs are damned if they do and damned if they
don't. If they didn't form some kind of agreement with the Tories
they would be critised for putting party interests before the country.
A deal with Labour was always a non-starter. I haven't seen the
details yet but they have got concessions from the Tories on some key
policy areas. If we do ever get any form of PR then political parties
are going to have to work together more so this is good practice ;-)

That's a tricky one.

It looks like labour are already taking the opportunity to score
points by trying to break up the alliance. A very selfish move IMHO.

Because it is a dark day for the BBC.

Soon it will be put at the mercy of Uncle Rupert who will
have it carved up even more and sold off.

I bet somebody has noticed how many surplus to requirements political
experts/commentators/reporters with little to say are employed by the BBC.

Nah they are all right wing Lib Dem supporters nowadays.

You are going to be disappointed.
