I wouldn't trust him to hold a cup of tea straight. 1] he's so clumsy he'd spill it and break it before it got cold, and 2] exactly the same with a Prime Ministerial position. How anyone can be hoodwinked by that joker beggars belief.
Where do you draw the line? If Angela Merkel is struggling to form a government come September, will it be OK for her to form an alliance with a far right that would want to make Holocaust denial a central plank of policy? If this election tells us anything it is that British politics is broken. Ignore the "red Tory" label, May leads a right of centre coalition. Corbyn is an old fashioned leftie (bless). This is the first election for decades that there was a clear choice. Just over 40% of those who voted went for one of these very different views of the world. It's time to draw breath. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to be grown up. Paisley and McGuinness showed that finding common ground is possible. If the likes of Hilary Benn and Ken Clarke discussed the problems facing the UK they might a) agree on the problems and b) seek solutions that did not offend the ideology of either. Going into government with the political wing of the unionist para-military can never be excused.
I presume that the tories outsourced their campaign strategy to Liverpool F.C. which would explain this f*** up!
Ok Beefy - what would you suggest her next move should have been? Edit: ignore this - you have said that later.
She isn't forming a coalition, she's using them to get her to govern. I don't like or rate the lady, but she had to take an action. There will mostly likely be another election sooner rather than later anyway, but I just feel she's been kicked here unnecessarily- plenty of things she's ****ed up that she could be kicked for.
I agree with your "broken politics" line entirely. I just doubt there will be enough grown-ups to work together.
Seems like it's about time Proportional Representation got its chance, so that everybody gets a chance to have their input and be represented. I noticed, when it came to the question, a rather contrite Farage last night realising that the only reason why his old UKiP party had any representation in Wales was via their version of PR which elects the Welsh Assembly.
What is it about our politicians? Even the French manage to bumble along, and there's few politicians more entrenched than a French one!
