No mention of it so far. Werthead Send a noteboard - 12/05/2010 12:42:10 AM
Unless they pull full electoral reform out of the hat then I will not vote Lib Dem until this sell out generation are gone. It does seem a taste of power wins out over principles.


I can only assume the Tory offer of a referendum on AV remains on the table. We'll find out the full details tomorrow to see if that's been upped to full PR.

The question is if AV is enough to carry the LibDem voters, and if the LibDems getting multiple other policies on many other fronts through is worth the price of losing the chance of full PR, given that full PR may have not been achievable in any case with either Labour or the Tories.

Britain has a new Prime Minister Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:12:50 PM 976 Views
Oh, right, I had totally forgotten that... Legolas - 11/05/2010 08:14:31 PM 711 Views
Nope. The Tories can form a minority government and risk the danger of collapsing. Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:18:31 PM 708 Views
That is what is being reported. From the Guardian quoting an unnamed Lib Dem MP snoopcester - 11/05/2010 08:30:52 PM 752 Views
But at the price of PR, no doubt. Legolas - 11/05/2010 08:32:02 PM 709 Views
Maybe not. Werthead - 11/05/2010 08:41:24 PM 759 Views
Not much of a price, I suspect snoopcester - 11/05/2010 08:49:38 PM 721 Views
That is the biggest danger to the LibDems. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:10:09 PM 689 Views
Indeed. snoopcester - 11/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 791 Views
The only hope for this coalition is a constitutional change Wibble - 11/05/2010 09:13:43 PM 713 Views
Possibly. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:21:38 PM 699 Views
The new cabinet is starting to come together. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:46:03 PM 697 Views
Plus Secretary for Scotland to the Lib Dems - imagine that. Legolas - 11/05/2010 09:50:11 PM 768 Views
It's a sop/peacemaker role, depending how you look at it. Werthead - 11/05/2010 09:54:02 PM 687 Views
It is a pat on the head. snoopcester - 11/05/2010 10:19:14 PM 583 Views

That one is a surprise to me, I expected Clegg to get it in some form snoopcester - 11/05/2010 11:06:36 PM 640 Views

And now we have a new government. The LibDems have signed up wholeheartedly. Werthead - 12/05/2010 12:16:31 AM 635 Views
And I now think I can class myself as a former Lib Dem voter snoopcester - 12/05/2010 12:33:28 AM 592 Views
No mention of it so far. Werthead - 12/05/2010 12:42:10 AM 900 Views

What about Northern Ireland? For the love of God, what about Northern Ireland?!?!?! *NM* Tom - 12/05/2010 05:00:37 AM 287 Views
What about it? Their parties won't be in the government. Legolas - 12/05/2010 10:27:50 AM 565 Views
Well some very interesting things happened Mark - 12/05/2010 11:45:36 AM 684 Views
That they did, but it's still largely symbolic. Legolas - 12/05/2010 01:03:31 PM 744 Views
Oh it's important to him Mark - 12/05/2010 03:00:54 PM 638 Views

There are no firm plans on how to deal with the north joining the republic Mark - 12/05/2010 03:19:52 PM 647 Views
I think what he means is that saying "Britain" instead of "the UK" technically excludes NI. *NM* Tim - 12/05/2010 01:06:56 PM 269 Views
Oh, right. Good point, then. *NM* Legolas - 12/05/2010 01:17:51 PM 268 Views
Exactly. *NM* Tom - 12/05/2010 08:07:06 PM 260 Views
