Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Just been watching Clegg and Ashdown talking about the EU agreement. Words like "spectacularly misguided", "disaster", "depressing" were being bandied about.

How can they stay in a coalition with Cameron after this? The Liberal Democrats went into the Coalition with two aims:

1. To secure electoral reform
2. To stay at the heart of Europe

This morning they are further away from electoral reform than they were before the Coalition, and Britain's place in Europe has never been further away from the heart.

How can the Coalition continue? Cameron should call an election immediately. At least everybody will know where they stand. The Labour and Liberal Democrat alternatives can be put forward for scrutiny during the election campaign, and if they are correct, Joe Public will give his verdict.

Well either the Lib/dems keep quite and get on with it or one of two things will happen,

1/ There's a snap General Election, and they take to quick road to oblivion

2/ Carry on and wait another 2 or 3 years before they fade into oblivion.

Lets face it, this collision is the nearest the Lib/dems could ever come to government

Are there any Liberal Democrat supporters on AccyWeb?

I'd love to hear their views, because their only role at the moment seems to be to prop up a radically right wing government.

Radically right wing, well its better than a Labour government led my a left wing Union Puppet, a leader none of the grass roots labourites wanted;)

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Gynn, you start a thread attacking David Camerons position on Europe a few days ago, post twice out of a current count of 75. This is just a extension of that.
Anyone with a hint of common sense can see that you are against the Tory half of the Government. Will we see more of you this time.
Personally I think if there was a snap election, the Conservatives would win, with a decent majority.
I have not seen anything of the Labour leader that would inspire me, unlike when Tony Blair ran for office.

As far as Radical Right, well the higher rate of income tax is still 40%, very right wing....

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

I cannot see the Libs willingly breaking the coalition, after all, do Turkeys ever vote for Christmas?.

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Well your sure right about Mr Ed, he has problems with members of his own party never mind the General Public

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Quite right Bob they'll just have to come to terms with being the junior party in the government or become obsolete 3 years early:rolleyes:

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Euurrgh, can you see Ed Balls in charge of the treasury? It would be like giving the keys of the distillery to a drunkard.

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

That's being rather disrespectful to drunks Bob:rolleyes:

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

I think this just about sums up where the Lib Dems are going.

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

To be honest, Gynn, I don't think anyone but the Media give a rats nadger what Clegg or Ashdown think. They are both EU creatures bought and paid for. Their pensions depend on them not saying anything negative about the EU, no matter how corrupt it is or how undemocratic it becomes.

I'm sure that 'Call me Dave' is sitting in No. 10 this morning wetting himself over what Clegg and Ashdown have to say, especially after having read the poll results in this mornings 'Independent'.

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

Being neither a tory or Labour supporter and defo not LD - I think it is time the euro sceptics called for the referendum to get us out of this mess they call the EU and back into the Commonwealth when we were all so much better off. If a snap general election was called, I wouldn't have a clue who to vote for - Monster raving loony party anybody???

Re: Where does this leave the Coalition?
 

LMAO radically right wing government.

Whys that then?

because the government dosnt want to sink with the rest of europe?


Even Germany has printied millions of Deutsche Mark currencey in case the euro collapses so why the hell should we jump into an agrrement that people already in it dont believe in?
