Well I guess Cameron's logic is that Clegg can't be as useless in the role as Prescott was...

If that is true, when DC takes time off for his new arrival NC will be running the country.

Who would have thought that a Lib Dem could be running this country

See I thought the idea was that whenever the criticism got too much the respective PMs would bugger off on holiday leaving Prescott in charge as a warning!

What a novel concept, have someone running something that they've had first hand experience of(Paddy was a member of the Special Boat Service).

Edit: Sorry, looks as though he was a Royal Marine, sure I read somewhere that he was in the SBS.

Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister

As I voted Labour, at least I can say if the Tory/Lib Dems screw up and make a bigger mess of things at least I can say I didn't vote them in. And if they do a better job and make things better then at least it'll be a bonus. So win / win either way.

I worried of a rejection by the Lib Dems, they taking ages. No mention of the AV thing since yesterday and I am wondering if it got pulled at the last moment. Fixed Term Parliaments is ok but not a massive concession whereas the tax thing is rumored to be just a 'priority'.

Probably just worried over nothing though.

Browns already back in North Queensferry - how fast was that?

And where was his luggage when he left Downing Street?

Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister

Is this really a coalition, or rather the dissolving of the liberal democrats
