[Wes]

so you're suggesting that brown is going to sleep with the queen?

What do you think they've been meaning all this time by saying "Activate the Queen"?

 

[Veidt]

...not like this... not like this..

 

[Wes]

He resigned as Labour leader at the podium. Harman is deputy, she is currently our PM to my understanding.

For all intents and purposes he has resigned but the actual resignation process isn't complete until the Queen says so.

 

[Varion]

Negotiations seem to be over, Hague saying nothing. They're going back to Cameron.

 

[Jex]

About time. Now the real crazyness can begin.

 

[Mr. Sam]

No one will vote Lib Dem though.

Ah, fuck.

 

[Deadman]

So Brown for EU president after Von Rompuy please.

 

[CruxisMana]

Osborne and Hague just irritate the shit out of me.

 

[Chinner]

So Brown for EU president after Von Rompuy please.

that would be the final fuck you to the uk press :lol

 

[Raydeen]

Haha. The Channel 4 coverage is like a horse race.

THE CAR IS GOING TO THE PALACE.
THE MOTORCYCLE HAS OVERTAKEN AND IS IN THE LEAD.
THE HELICOPTER IS CIRCLING OVERHEAD.

:lol

Looks like a top down Spy Hunter.

 

[Meadows]

Hauge's creamy creamy voice soothes my woes

 

[Zutroy]

I love how the chants of 'Tory scum' were that loud that you couldn't hear Hague speak :lol

 

[Mr. Sam]

So Brown for EU president after Von Rompuy please.

If Blair didn't get it, Brown won't.

 

[curls]

About time. Now the real crazyness can begin.

Millbananas for opposition leader.

 

[FuturusX]

Osborne and Hague just irritate the shit out off me.

Get used to that...

 

[UnblessedSoul]

The next few years will be shit, with all that's ahead, Labour will probably bounce back next election

 

[Veidt]

Osbourne and Hague just irritate the shit out off me.

Hague comes off so arrogant. goddam

this country is like a woman who'd rather go in an abusive relationship with a wife beater instead of the nice guy who keeps doing shit for her.

 

[Parl]

Nick Robinson sounded too much like David Cameron after I went from watching to just listening my BBC News stream.

 

[Wes]

This is the best episode of Eastenders I've ever seen.

 

[avaya]

So Brown for EU president after Von Rompuy please.

Head of IMF more likely.

 

[Mr. Sam]

We are without a Prime Minister! China, now is your chance! Take it! Take it!

 

[Slightly Live]

Nick Robinson sounded too much like David Cameron after I went from watching to just listening my BBC News stream.

I bet he's smug, Robinson is a tory bedwetter, this is his dream come true.

 

[Gary Whitta]

This is the best episode of Eastenders I've ever seen.

More like NobEnders amirite

 

[Varion]

Aaand he's out. The Queen has been activated. This can't be stopped now!

 

[avaya]

Another election within the year.

 

[Veidt]

Another election within the year.

This can't be denied.
Cons couldn't have chosen a worse period to be in power.

 

[Meadows]

I love this country, all the ceremony is so fucking cool

 

[Varion]

Cameron expected at the palace at half 8 to be invited to be the next PM.

Shudder.

At least he's going to be watered down.

 

[Varion]

...Brown's going to resign as an MP altogether and leave politics entirely? Wow.

 

[MrMysterio]

So did the Lib Dems get their demand for electoral reform through Cameron then?

 

[avaya]

Apparently Clegg is going to be deputy prime minister.

 

[Varion]

So did the Lib Dems get their demand for electoral reform through Cameron then?

They wanted PR, they got AV. So they got a concession but not their full demand, or even anything close really.

Meanwhile, fuck off Heseltine.

 

[Veidt]

Apparently Clegg is going to be deputy prime minister.

Isn't that just an honorary position kept for those who couldn't be PM, as a consolation price?

 

[curls]

...Brown's going to resign as an MP altogether and leave politics entirely? Wow.

Mainly because the right wing media have acted like cunts and will continue to do so.

 

[avaya]

Isn't that just an honorary position kept for those who couldn't be PM, as a consolation price?

Meaningless position normally but don't think so this time around.

I expect batshit levels of revolts from Lib Dem MP's when push comes to shove.

 

[RedShift]

Are we going to get mod to change the thread title or start a new one?

 

[Wes]

Isn't that just an honorary position kept for those who couldn't be PM, as a consolation price?

Pretty much but it means he gets to sit in the cabinet sessions but not have to control any specific department, as far as I'm aware.

 

[defel]

Apparently Clegg is going to be deputy prime minister.

From Michael Crick's blog,

If we are to get a Lib-Con government, the incoming Cabinet could be blessed with as many as nine people with experience of party leadership:

David Cameron
Nick Clegg
William Hague
Michael Howard
Iain Duncan Smith
Paddy Ashdown
Charles Kennedy
Sir Ming Campbell
David Trimble

 

[Veidt]

Are we going to get mod to change the thread title or start a new one?

The title is spot on.

No one wins.

We all lose.

ahh

From Michael Crick's blog,

WHERE THE FUCK IS CABLE?

 

[NekoFever]

He resigned as Labour leader at the podium. Harman is deputy, she is currently our PM to my understanding.

No she's not. The office of PM is vacant at the moment.

 

[celestial body]

As soon as he left the palace there was no police escort and he'd just got past the roundabout when someone pulled up beside him in a green car waving and flipping him the bird, anyone else see that? funny as dimbelby was rambling on in the background.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Charles Kennedy! Hol-eee shit. Fantastic.

 

[Dambrosi]

Hague comes off so arrogant. goddam

this country is like a woman who'd rather go in an abusive relationship with a wife beater instead of the nice guy who keeps doing shit for her.

The nice guy who always get blamed for everything by the neighbourhood gossips.

 

[Mr. Sam]

WHERE THE FUCK IS CABLE?

That's just the people who are former/current party leaders. There are more than nine members to the cabinet.

 

[avaya]

The nice guy who always get blamed for everything by the neighbourhood gossips.

Especially the Australian one's.

With friends like Australia who needs Al Qaeda?

 

[marvelharvey]

So, when Cameron is away, does that mean that Clegg will have to answer questions at PMQs?

 

[Wes]

Where the hell is George Osbourne going if Ken Clarke is going to the Treasury?

 

[Meadows]

That's just the people who are former/current party leaders. There are more than nine members to the cabinet.

Cable was the acting leader of LD for a while
