Well listerned to the FINISHED PARTY who made lots of plans for AFTER the next general election, where they know fully they wont be anywhere near power, and lose so many seats unlikely to even to be of consideration.
Of course cable is edginh his bets talking to millyband, but in reality, who can trust a lib dem ever again???
For me, the general election will throw up no overall control, and with the untrusted lib dems i hope labour don't consider a co olition with them.

clegg got a good press this morning with most papers praising him for telling his audience what they didn't want to hear.
he made no apology over the spending cuts and more or less said there should be more.

Yes indeed Vince Cable has said only a few days ago that he foresees further indecisive election results in the future. They see themselves, the Libdems, as forever the middle dealer...next time a coalition with Labour is probably on the cards. This gives them a new kind of power in a way..heaven forbid!
With all the parties moving to the centre ground the electorate has no REAL choice. A vote here or a vote there doesnt conjure up visions of right or left wing any more..but on the contrary fetches up similiarities in the shapes of Cameron and Blair. Either could be in eithers party, could they not?
The only way to eradicate Libdem influence or a coalition possibility, is for joe public to vote decisively for one party or the other along traditional lines...as Dennis Skinner would say...just like wot he did in them old days!

The LibDems are sometimes presented as an 8% party, but their figures are 14+%, and this could easily go up to 20%. It's UKIP that isn't making it.
At 31%, the Conservatives are in a nose-dive, and if all they have to offer is more spending cuts and naught else to compensate, they will be heading further South sooner than you can say 3 times Jack Robinson.
If there were an election now, it'd be a Labour-LibDem government.

Yes indeed in aeroplane design the seats must be comfortable, and of a pleasing colour and pattern. Whether the coffee cups should follow classic design criteria or maybe something new, where oh where would the world be without doubt.
And as for the controls, they must naturally be near at hand and as complex as is humanly possible, after all we would not wish that just any old Johnny of the streets should be able to fathom them.
But you are right, oh so right. What colour should the dials be, why did I not think to place this consideration at the head of things? Now 'Red for Go', would certainly ring the changes, 'Blue for the steady state'? Perhaps, but a little splash of Beige, I hear you propose...how pretty.
Of course, the engines and the control mechanisms, well...they are British...what more need be said, apart from the vexing issue of what colour they should be - in assure engine efficiency, and aught not the cables be frayed at the ends and curly throughout their length?
Should the cabin staff be composed strictly in accordance with the social and ethnic mix of society...each with a dog or a cat?
Last, but not least. Who should be at the pointy-end, at the controls, as it were...or at least in the cabin?
A most thorny matter and no mistake. However this is worked out, just to be on the safe side there must be ample room for a self-appointing ad-hoc committee of ex-flight-staff and their sundry off-spring...and so as not to be seen as leaving the least thing to chance...a smattering of Clergy. "Nearer, my god, to thee" and all that, what!
Airports, passengers, landing strips etc. Mmmmm, cheapest all round if we keep the whole thing up in the air...and should the worst befall 'em, let us hope and pray that they land on Slough-upon-Thames.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
