They don't really have any choice.

Unless they want to lose the support of an entire nation for letting the Tories back in.

 

[SNova]

There would never be a coalition anyway. 'Red Ed' knows damn well that the SNP will vote with them through the commons even without a formal agreement in place.

They could form a grand coalition with labour and conservatives.

Yep. Got them in a very difficult place.

 

[Clint Planet]

Yes, it is sad isn't it. The only thing that can be taken into account in appearance is leadership and confidence.

It wouldn't last though. It only takes 1 issue to disrupt the whole arrangement. He'll be hanging on by a thread. Same thing happened in 1974 and there was a 2nd election.

I'm sure we'd all love to see Cameron getting DUPed to be honest.

Not the way I meant it you wouldn't.

You might be right, but Scotland would never forgive the SNP for allowing the Tories back in, even by not supporting a Labour policy they might disagree with.

 

[Brennan]

He'd close the borders

But all it would mean is there would be another election which Labour might win, so they could say they weren't letting the tories back in at all.

I highly doubt a minority gov would fail a vote of confidence to then go on to win the recalled election.

Lads, no need to panic, it looks like Davey has got this sown up so we can all relax.........

 

[peteblue]

He'd close the borders

He'd expand the borders...........

What's going to happen, a vote of no confidence?

 

[chewee]

If Nick Clegg loses his seat that dramatically changes the political landscape.

If indeed he is given the boot in Hallam don't be surprised to see the remaining Lib Dem MPs lean left and distance themselves from the toxic tories.

I can't remember if there was a vote of confidence in 1974. @the esk might know. But Labour won the the subsequent election just about.
