Not only as he sold out to the Tories, it looks like he's turned his back on Glastonbury this year. After last years performance, you'd thought he would have made a return. I know he's got bigger, so maybe a John Peel slot would have been good. But alas, no. So to you Nick, I say Get real.

No offence but i'm guessing he's going to be a bit busy this year. I don't know how he's sold out to the Tories either. He had a choice of an unworkable government with Labour and god knows who else or another generation in the wilderness.
At least here he's got an influence in government.

Also, on the subject of politicians, Sarah Brown came, as the Prime Ministers wife. This time, presuming she'll come, she'll just be the wife of the MP of that Scottish place.

Corrected for you

as much as I loathe the idea of the liberals working with the conservatives in government as

- last time it split the party and ended the liberals as a potent force for 87 years
- I cant trust the tories
- for those who remember the food scares of the major years, well as far as I am concerned, messing with a blokes, food, drink or woman is right out.

I hope he is able to offset the worst of tory tendencies.

Clegg needs to get his arse down to Glasto.

No don't panic this is good......

Ok, no party should be in power for ever, its not good for democracy. Labour had to lose at some point. Better to the tory's with an agenda forced to the middle ground by a compromise with the Lib Dems.
Had they worked with Labour it would have been see as a joining of two losers and destined to fail. The half harted attempt by Labour to negotiate a deal just served to raise the stakes for the tory's to the point they had to offer a referendum on alternate voting. This forces them to compromise too far. The deal will fall apart in a couple of years by a Tory party that will  tear itself to pieces.
Mean while Labour licks its wounds, keeps its hand free from  the dirty work of spending cuts and tax rises and re-emerges with a new leader to crush the tory's with a land slide and with any luck at least the next two elections after that........

See? Its all good here....yes allllll gooooood...........i see dead people......

I'm waiting to see what they do in Government. They might actually serve as a check on the tories by rebelling against their worse policies.

[grumpyhack]

Government for any party or parties for the next couple of years is going to be a poisoned chalice.

Just one thought, I get fed up with commentators saying that Britain voted for a hung parliament.  We didn't vote for a hung parliament. That wasn't an option on the ballot paper.

Most people voted for the party or candidate they wanted - Lab, Lib, Con or whatever.  Some people got what they wanted.  Most didn't.  

We've ended up with a hung parliament as a consequence of the way other people voted and the constituency electoral system we have - not because as individuals we voted for one.

aw, it's so nice that Sky News has an online spokesman.
A deal with the devil is a deal with the devil. Anything else is just politics.

the condem grouping will hopefully go as smudger suggests.
