Poor old Nick Clegg, he has three dreadful options to pick from:
- Join with Tories - big differences there, so possibly short
term stable, but long term it must explode.
- Join with Labour et al. - probably unstable and Labour
have offered concessions in the past and failed to deliver.
- Join with no one and face another general election, probably
doing worse that the current one.
Which ever way you look at it, it's unpalatable. Although popular
with their own supporters more than 60% of the population really
hate the Tories. Labour clearly lost the election and
even with Gordon out of the way, they are not the most popular
people in the UK this week.
To add insult to injury, whatever the colour of government it's
not going to be popular, with massive spending cuts and tax rises
required to balance the books and head of Greek style bailout....
