Both sides have said they want a stable long term coalition.

It is what the Lib Dems want though so if it happens expect a split and an election shortly after.

Anyone see the irony of the 'hooray' option in the poll being labour red?

And the Tories have already said that the absolute furthest they would go is a referendum on AV, not PR.

The Tories would never go for PR. I think offering AV would have been hard enough for them to swallow.

I beg to differ - there may have to be some difficult decisions made, as the books have to balanced, but Cameron is a consensus politician (much to the disgust of some the more right-wing members of the Tory Party).

But I am sure you won't let facts spoil your prejudices.....

Agreement has been made but not signed off. Inheritance tax and marriage tax breaks are on hold. Whereas the tax-free allowance raised to Â£10,000 will be the 'priority'. Source: BBC

I'm not even sure I want Conservative in. I only voted for them to get rid of Gordon.

Nick Clegg should be PM, not Cameron, but then again, I do hate Cameron

That would only help if the Tory candidate actually won the seat from the Labour candidate, if this did not happen then your vote made no difference.;)

Hardly counts, they didn't completely win the election so there you go.
