Will Gordon go????
 

Well I for one think he will need a crow bar, despite losing the election.

Currently 241 seats to the Conservative 288 seats.
Less votes, 8,024,022 to the Conservatives 10,035,618.
So he might try to form an alliance with the Lib Dems???

On the BBC News now they are saying that Gordon is going to hang on.
This could do untold damage to Labour.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Give him enough rope and he'll hang himself BG, he hasn't had a mandate since he took over from Blair and he still hasn't got one He's lost on both seats and the Popular vote, yet he still won't take the hint

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Personally think if Clegg n Cameron remain, why shouldn't Brown.:confused: there like the 3 stooges anyway, i can see it, funny how you 2 can't.:rolleyes:

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

He's obliged to stay (apparently) until a coalition is formed, regardless of whether he's in it.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

A bit like in it to win it, Studio, with Dale Winton waiting in the wings:D

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Constitutionally we cannot have a situation where we have no government, but until Cameron and Clegg have stopped dancing, they are not going to take over. So Brown has to stay on until a deal is struck. No choice in the matter.

And you can bet that he's fervently hoping that the other two can't come to an arrangment, giving him the chance of not having to call the furniture removers for a while!

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

You need to ask if "Limpet" Brown will voluntarily vacate Nr.10 ? With the gentle assistance of a crowbar ....... It'd be difficult, but possible. :D

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

You guys don't have the right idea about minority government .... Canadians are experts. Simple solution: Tories form the government. And then they face the opposition, led by Brown. The tories have to behave. They have, for example, to bring in a budget acceptable to Labour and the Liberal Democrats, because the opposition has the votes to defeat the budget. This will bring down the government. The best way to keep a government honest (or as honest as politicians can be) is to have a formidable opposition. Nothing will get through the House without some major wheelin' and deallin' ... politicians will have to work harder for the bucks the taxpayer is paying them.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it, you'll be seeing Gord around for awhile yet. No matter how well Nick may get on with Dave, the Lib/Dems won't stomach getting into bed with the Tories. Too many basic policy differences for a start, like immigration (Tories want to bring it down to tens of thousands a year, Lib/Dems want to offer an amnesty on illegals). Most important of all, Dave's offering a "committee" to look at voting reform, while Gord is so desperate to keep his grubby mitts on the reins of power, he'll offer a referendum on Google Page Ranking. Expect a Lab/Lib/Dem government soon.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

I will say this for Gordon....I just saw t'telly with a shot of him heading off to Mass (or whatever it is they have in Scotland). He was properly attired and looked very smart in his Sunday best. We also saw Cameron set off for his local Church...he looked like he was wearing his old gardening clothes. Absolutely disgraceful. And as for that two-faced wastrel Clegg - he wasn't even going to Church, yet still found time to give an interview dressed in his pyjama top.And this is now the most powerful man in England?

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

That's because they're both going for the Tony Blair "Hey! I'm just a regular sort of guy" casual approach...and failing miserably! ;)

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

If I recall, Blair used to knock around in a Newcastle United FC shirt. I don't suppose it would do Clegg any good to stick on a Sheffield Wednesday shirt - they've not exactly had the most successful of seasons.

I suppose if Chelski do the business this afternoon, we'll see Cameron suddenly find pop up in some blue footy attire.

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Well I haven't sent him a Rovers shirt Tealeaf:D

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

What would he want with an oily rag?

Re: Will Gordon go????
 

Some papers are saying that Gordo upset Nick by losing his rag in a phone call on Friday night.

I don't expect a Lab/Lib coalition
