It would make a snappy title snoopcester Send a noteboard - 12/05/2010 02:04:55 PM
Or maybe they'll create a new post of "Minister for Keeping the Liberal Democrats in Line" for him.


Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Keeping the Liberal Democrats in Line. Rolls of the tongue:P

I can just imagine the wikipedia entry. "Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: David Cameron (Sun-Thu), Nick Clegg (Fri-Sat)."


If I was Cameron, I'd give Clegg weekends and week days after 6pm - no point working unsociable hours if you don't have to.

"Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: David Cameron (During work hours), Nick Clegg (weekends, evenings and bank holidays)."

Britain has a new Prime Minister Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:12:50 PM 1051 Views
Oh, right, I had totally forgotten that... Legolas - 11/05/2010 08:14:31 PM 793 Views
Nope. The Tories can form a minority government and risk the danger of collapsing. Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:18:31 PM 779 Views
That is what is being reported. From the Guardian quoting an unnamed Lib Dem MP snoopcester - 11/05/2010 08:30:52 PM 829 Views
But at the price of PR, no doubt. Legolas - 11/05/2010 08:32:02 PM 787 Views
Maybe not. Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:41:24 PM 836 Views
Not much of a price, I suspect snoopcester - 11/05/2010 08:49:38 PM 806 Views
That is the biggest danger to the LibDems. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:10:09 PM 760 Views
Indeed. snoopcester - 11/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 870 Views
The only hope for this coalition is a constitutional change Wibble - 11/05/2010 09:13:43 PM 790 Views
Possibly. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:21:38 PM 774 Views
The new cabinet is starting to come together. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:46:03 PM 772 Views
Plus Secretary for Scotland to the Lib Dems - imagine that. Legolas - 11/05/2010 09:50:11 PM 837 Views
It's a sop/peacemaker role, depending how you look at it. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:54:02 PM 765 Views
It is a pat on the head. snoopcester - 11/05/2010 10:19:14 PM 662 Views
The Tory half is depressing already snoopcester - 11/05/2010 10:13:58 PM 722 Views
Defence is now updated to Fox according to Sky snoopcester - 11/05/2010 10:54:58 PM 666 Views
Yeah, just saw that coming through. Werthead - 11/05/2010 11:00:25 PM 820 Views
That one is a surprise to me, I expected Clegg to get it in some form snoopcester - 11/05/2010 11:06:36 PM 715 Views
They're back to talking about Gove as Home Secretary. Werthead - 12/05/2010 12:01:44 AM 736 Views
Heh, he has at least been barely caught up in the expenses scandal snoopcester - 12/05/2010 12:20:46 AM 746 Views

And now we have a new government. The LibDems have signed up wholeheartedly. Werthead - 12/05/2010 12:16:31 AM 720 Views
And I now think I can class myself as a former Lib Dem voter snoopcester - 12/05/2010 12:33:28 AM 667 Views
No mention of it so far. Werthead - 12/05/2010 12:42:10 AM 983 Views
Indeed snoopcester - 12/05/2010 01:02:01 AM 741 Views
What would you have them do? Nebhead - 12/05/2010 09:32:57 AM 866 Views
There are more than two choices snoopcester - 12/05/2010 10:20:35 AM 824 Views
The only problem is that would mean returning a labour majority within 12 months Mark - 12/05/2010 11:36:47 AM 777 Views
Only if they met the Lib Dem price - true electoral reform snoopcester - 12/05/2010 12:30:26 PM 806 Views
They should have, since they didn't get enough important ministerial posts to compensate. Tim - 12/05/2010 01:42:07 PM 774 Views

What about Northern Ireland? For the love of God, what about Northern Ireland?!?!?! *NM* Tom - 12/05/2010 05:00:37 AM 319 Views
What about it? Their parties won't be in the government. Legolas - 12/05/2010 10:27:50 AM 643 Views
Well some very interesting things happened Mark - 12/05/2010 11:45:36 AM 762 Views
That they did, but it's still largely symbolic. Legolas - 12/05/2010 01:03:31 PM 825 Views
Oh it's important to him Mark - 12/05/2010 03:00:54 PM 716 Views
I was constantly checking up on Fermanagh & South Tyrone during the recounts. Tim - 12/05/2010 01:16:50 PM 736 Views
There are no firm plans on how to deal with the north joining the republic Mark - 12/05/2010 03:19:52 PM 723 Views
I think what he means is that saying "Britain" instead of "the UK" technically excludes NI. *NM* Tim - 12/05/2010 01:06:56 PM 301 Views
Oh, right. Good point, then. *NM* Legolas - 12/05/2010 01:17:51 PM 303 Views
Exactly. *NM* Tom - 12/05/2010 08:07:06 PM 289 Views
