Support NeoGAF

[firehawk12]

Lib Dems should have made a deal when they could have. Hell, even I could have told them that Labour didn't want to make a coalition work - they share a similar voter base, so why work with the enemy?

I'm willing to bet that this was their only chance to get any kind of vote on electoral reform even considered and they let it go. That's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

9.12pm: Simon Hughes has just told Sky that the coalition agreement covers a full four years.

I wonder how that will hold up once the shit starts to fly?

It's better to be hopeful about the situation than to immediately damn it all to hell like the majority of people in this thread seem to be doing.

If by the end of this year, it all fails, then fine. I admit my hopes were let down. But he's only been in office for less than an hour, and yet everyone is pronouncing this country as dead as...something dead.

Tories are like sharks to people - you learn to stay away from them and history has shown the damage they can do. It's a natural feeling to have.

But...but, I'm not a shark supporter. :lol

And I'm fairly certain my mate's dad isn't a shark in disguise either.

[RedShift]

So, what's so funny?

'I have lots of Black/Gay/Muslim friends' is a sort of clichéd get out of being a bigot free card

 

[D4Danger]

21:17 President Obama has spoken to Mr Cameron - the first foreign leader to do so since he entered Downing Street.

 

[Varion]

I think the guy outside Lib Dem HQ can put his sign down now, it's a bit too late to be asking if we want 'a rotten conservative government'.

Also, Laws statement incoming soon!

 

[Rich!]

T-bag was such a great character. Such an utterly dislikeable person, but compelling to watch.

I've been following this thread, and I must thank you all for making politics fun to follow! :lol
I'd like to know the full extent of the deals between the Lib Dems and the Conservatives...

The two I know:

-Our Pension money used for the Bullingdon boys club insurance under-writings

Well, why do you think Alex Salmon and Nicola Sturgeon dislike Tories?

Exactly.

Erm, these are the important questions here

Do you think David Cameron gets new bedsheets?

Did Gordon empty the fridge before he left?

Has Gordon cancelled his Sky and Broadband?

Has he advised his bank and royal mail of his change of address?

So many unanswered questions.....

 

[killer_clank]

Fuck sake Laws. :lol :lol

Laws and Cable in? Awesome.

 

[Veidt]

So how many die hard Lib Dem supporters will not be voting Lib Dem after this election?:lol

 

[Raydeen]

Mrs Cameron looked milftastic.

I think a UV light may be required, just in case.

 

[Jex]

For someone with the smallest percentage of the vote, Clegg has fucked Cameron pretty hard.

 

[jamieson87]

Well, Cameron was clearly in the right when he was measuring the Downing street curtains last week eh Nick?

 

[FabCam]

Goddam I hope Michael Gove makes cabinet. Sucks if he loses out due to this coalition.

 

[Zenith]

I can't believe Osborne is Chancellor. Forget differing political views, The City hate him because they think he's so incompetent. The guy can't form economic policy for shit. He'll be out within a year.

 

[Wes]

For someone with the smallest percentage of the vote, Clegg has fucked Cameron pretty hard.

It will have been a small price to have paid if the Conservatives win the referendum and we don't get AV.

 

[D4Danger]

Alex Salmond is talking up Scottish indepenance again.

I do have to wonder how much this will affect that. 85% of people in Scotland didn't vote for either of these parties.

 

[Theoris]

Between this and Notts Forrest vs Blackpool playoff.. a great day of televisual delights (adjust that on your opinions of the tory/lib coalition and football :lol)

 

[Raydeen]

Diane Abbot BRRAAAPPPPing for Hackney.

No, something tells me he probably wasn't fond of sky in his final days..

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do much. Cable basically does everything, Osborne takes credit for the good, blames Cable for the bad.

QuestionTime will be good this week..Newsnight tonight too

Any chance of Dambrosi and many others ever voting for them again

[Mama Robotnik]

I don't understand politics any more.

Isn't this like the GALACTIC EMPIRE forming a coalition with the REBEL ALLIANCE?

 

[Garjon]

Wait, 3/4 of the Lib Dems need to vote for this coalition to go forward?
It's certainly not over yet.

It's wayyyyy over.

 

[louis89]

Would it be true to say that there was a brief moment between Brown's resignation and Cameron's visit to the queen when Harriet Harman was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?

 

[Garjon]

Probably, just wishful thinking

Bloody BBC; "Let's interrupt the informative bit from this reporter with a video of Cameron and his wife walking to their car!"

 

[FabCam]

Wait, 3/4 of the Lib Dems need to vote for this coalition to go forward?
It's certainly not over yet.

"Guys we have an opportunity to have some power! Some of our policies will go through! We'll no longer be mocked as the minor party! We can laugh at Labour in the Commons! Or we could not if you don't wanna and just carry on as we have been for the past 20 years."

 

[Subliminal]

I like your optimism

Apparently Paddy Ashdown is defence secretary! :lol
