Re: Jukebox Friday Open Thread (none / 0)

Clegg doesn't want to poison the LibDem brand by associating it with an unpopular govt. His problem is that either of his likely partners will form an unpopular government.

In a hung parliament the Lib/Dems will have power beyond their numbers.

Assuming adroit leadership by Clegg, et. al.

Oh no. this is farce that will run and run. the only LibDem either side wants to co-opt is the blessed Vince, the rest are more trouble than they're worth.

From a distance your upcoming election feels similar to '92 when Major ran a brilliant campaign, culminating in a Tory win when the Smart© money was on Labour.

Yea, it's really difficult to call. Nobody really likes Brown or NuLab, but nobody really wants the tories either. I think it will be a low turnout election as most people think "a plague on all your houses".

So any result is possible, but I think a hung parliament with the tories as the largest party is my call. But I'm usually wrong.
