| Is this really what Britain might have walking into Number 10 tomorrow? |

Purewater01's comments with some very appropriate embedded links are well worth a read after this Guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/05/general-election-2010-david-cameron

| 6. there's going to be some shit hitting the fan within the Lib Dem membership |
|
This news is good for the Labour Party but bad for the country. This will throw Lib-Lab marginals into play, and a swing back to Labour from some of the Lib Dem's left-wing vote will put Lab-Con marginals into play. Agreement or no, Cameron will dump Clegg and call a snap election when his poll-ratings indicate a healthy majority.

| 9. Made the same points elsewhere AS. Great minds? LOL |

The LibDems are snookered bigtime in the North and Scotland.
A sensible Labour leadership choice (yes, I know!) will see them wiped off the local government map up here as a preliminary to their disappearance whenever Cameron decides to shaft them at a General Election.
In the meantime, the AV referendum will be fun. My guess is it won't get through. The Tories will oppose, Labour will be half and half (Memories of the Common Market referendum!) and no-one will give a shit what the Lib Dems think.
