Tory lurch to the right begins

// Tory Right demands post for Duncan Smith as compensation for Lib Dem deal.

A Cabinet post for Iain Duncan Smith is part of the price the Conservative Right is demanding for compromises needed to secure a deal with the Lib Dems.

David Cameron has been told that he must hand more ministerial jobs to right-wing Tories, including a full Cabinet position for the former Conservative leader.

Mr Cameron has called a meeting of all Tory MPs for 6pm today as he seeks to keep his party together through continuing negotiations with the Liberal Democrats. Yesterday he made a point of opening his Commons office to any Tory MP who wanted to see him, an attempt to counter criticism of a leadership style deemed arrogant and insular by disaffected members of his party. //

Didn't take long. If Clegg and the Labour Party stitch him up, will Cameron get the chop? And would that be a good or a bad thing?

So 71% voted against Labour ?

And Brown refuses to leave ?

He should get out of No. 10 right now !

Apparently nothing changes until a new government is formed when it does he go's, staying or going isn't up to him its part of the process.

Don't care.

Given the massive majority who voted "No to Labour" ...

... Brown should p!ss off straight away.

(unless he's waiting to form this "coalition of losers")

Very true, Jayne! It has been published somewhere but I can't remember the last PM who actually achieved more than 50% of the popular vote.- it was back in the 30s.

This mess must surely prove we need electoral reform. Especially to the Conservatives who are not for it. What will the next election (17th October?) bring?
