It now sounds like there will be a Lib-Con coalition after all. Silly Britons.

I'd be surprised if that happens. If the Lib Dems walk away from this without electoral reform, they're crazy.

Apparently a key part of the deal they're striking with the conservatives is a referendum on electoral reform.

Yeah, but what are they offering? AV? AV+? STV? PR?

Welp, Cameron it is. Bah.

I actually shed a couple of tears watching Gordon Brown's speech. Quite moving, really, very noble.

I might shed a couple more in the years to come though. Tories. Sheesh

'Fuck the poor.'

On the bright side, the marriage tax breaks and the inheritance tax cut have been put on hold. The income tax threshold will be raised to £10,000, as well. At least you have that, I guess.

Hey, on the bright side, we now live in a Con-Dem-Nation

I maintain that Cameron is not Thatcher and you're all a bunch of silly nannies.

Furthermore, a coalition with the Liberal Dems can only serve to further moderate whatever baby-eating tendencies the Tories still have.

But, I suppose we'll see, eh?

Do any of you more-informed peoples have a link to a summary of what the actual agreement between the Lib Dems and Tories is? Or would anyone mind taking the time to explain it? I think I understand the gist (Referendum on an instant runoff system, which seems quite sensible; Clegg is Deputy Prime Minister; some Lib Dems are given semi-important positions, but how important are they really?; and a change in election rules so that elections are effectively set at once every five years barring massive discontent, saving the Lib Dems from momentary base-rebellion for siding with the Tories), but I'm not certain that I get the particulars.
