Are we referring to Brown's resignation?

Not a bad move if it encourages the Lib Dems to jump onboard.

If not...we're shafted!

there's still a lot that go wrong for the tories. At least they didn't get a majority and if that bank of england guy is right the difficult decsions they're going to have to make could land them in big trouble with the electorate at the next election.

We still don't know exactly if there's going to be a coaltion. The lib dem's haven't said anything offically and neither have senior tories . Cameron said outside #10 'aim' to form a full coalition!!! So hopefully it'll all fall down. They've sold out as far as i'm concerned though and i don't think i can vote for the liberals again unless a future leader explicitly renounces Clegg, so to speak.
Brown was a decent guy for someone who was involved in a coupla wars, i personally find despicable, if that's not a contradiction but he should have just let the banks go to hell. Avoiding whatever would have happened has indebted us to the tune of a trill and I find it hard to believe that's a price worth paying even if we'd have had some major short to medium term economic damage.

...we're shafted!

Cameron, Prime Minister and Clegg, Deputy.
And that expenses fiddling twat George Osborne as Chancellor.

There goes the Lib Dem pledge for cracking down on fiddling.

I think Right-Track like a lot of us was riding on a last shred of hope there more than anything.

I was hoping he was paving the way for 2 new leaders to sweeten the deal, but no.

Edit: I didn't see the resignation speech...only heard about it. I had no idea he'd recommended the Queen to invite the opposition to form a new government.
