I read the same thing...the papers have to write something, and it seems that it always has to be contentious...this will not help our position in the eyes of the world......and I am pretty sure that the pound will suffer, which of course hurts us all.
This situation needs to be remedied, and soon. It is like a school playground at the moment. Not very grown up at all.

Oh deary me we can't be having that now can we..pussycat Nick gets upset boo hoo!
not much of a surprise "some" papers are reporting rubbish and that some people believe this tripe...I think Brown has acted with honour in defeat by keeping his gob shut and actually endorsing the Cameron - Glegg talks.

Mancie...who said that we believed this tripe?
It sells newspapers, and gives folk something to talk about...end of!
None of 'em can be getting on that well or we would have had a new incumbent in No 10 by now.

I didn't accuse you of believing it..but some do..and you are right in saying there should be someone running this country but Brown has no alternative unless Cameron claims the role of Prime Minister... it all goes to show how desperate the Tories are... they should form a new Goverment because they have the most seats instead of doing seedy backroom deals.

I think that constitutionally they can't do anything until Mr Brown tenders his resignation and defers to David Cameron.......and i think there will be a lot of shady backroom deals...whether we will get to hear about them is another matter.
Worrying!

That's not really the way it works.. Cameron can go to the Queen and request he form a Government on the basis he has by far the mosts seats and that request would not be refused.
The problem we have is that the Tories and Lib Dems are dilly dallying on what sort of deal they do...lets get it into reality Brown can do nothing but sit there and it's unfair in all this "fair" political system to blame Brown.
Even if Brown did resign whoever took over his post as leader of Labour would be made Prime Minister because the Tories and the Lib Dems are still the opposition until they ask the Queen permission to form a Government.

Brown has two legal choices. He doesn't go until there is a clear decision as to who will be able to replace him, or go to the Queen and say "I resign. The only choice you've got is to ask Cameron to set up a minority government as he's not managed a deal yet"

Leaving Cameron with no time to work the best deal. What he's doing gives Cameron time and keeps Britain with a government until such time as the handover happens.

Funny really but Brown's doing Cameron a favour.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 
there is a 3rd choice hiddlebit, - Al Quieda could pop along to a Cameron/Clegg meeting.:D

He's taking a gamble, hoping that the Tories' and Lib/Dems' ideological differences will mean they can't work out a deal. Then he can step in, offer Clegg and his mob what they want and claim he was acting responsibly all along.

Disagree wyn, Brown had no say in the matter as knobhead clegg stated he was talking to the other knobheads first, since they were the ones wi most seats, i cant blame him fer that, so rather than Brown taking a gamble, i reckon hes just using his head n being honourable, no say in the matter anyway, so to me hes took the sensible option.:)
