who supports the lib/con coallition?

[-:Undertaker:-]

5 Year fixed parliament says not. I'm happy with a lot that has been negotiated and I fully support a Lib-Con coalition since it has a greater mandate than Lib-Lab. HOWEVER I am extremely disappointed that PR was not pushed further, AV is not a proportional system.

The 5 year parliament legislation does not make sense, if the coalition fails then the government will collapse and a Conservative minority would not be able to function, thus why an election would have to be called despite the legislation. That piece of legislation is nothing more than a show-piece.

i think the legislation they want to bring is that if 55% give a vote of no confidence then they will call an election - which doesnt sound all that hard tbh.

Oh please, a vote of no confidence will destroy this coalition and thats coming from a conservative supporter . The only reason you support a con/lib coalition is because your man clegg has a chance of grasping some power after his party being in the wilderness for decades.

On the subject of PR, how dare you wish PR was not pushed further. Now its simple maths but which party won the most seats? the answer is Conservatives with 307, the liberals came third and have 57 and as a result are in no position what so ever to make demands and am partially pleased these have not being fully met but i am dissapointed with the fact that a vote on AV has been agreed as from most thatcherite torys its betrayal. The Conservatives could of easily formed an minority government without the lib dems and fair enough it probably would not of being stable and therefore the lib dems were practically not needed.

As a result i believe this coalition wont last long. Bring on a general election in 1 years time as id love to see how labour and lib-dem people manage to campaign with a lack of funds .

I love what changes they've made in the past 2 days. They seem to get on now. I hope they continue to do so in a professional manner, I'm all for this new government.

It only applies to the fact that it is a fixed date so any pm won't be able to go at a time that he thinks is the best. There can still be a split in the coalition, a vote of no confidence which will spark off an election. I really think it is too early to tell at the moment but I was shocked that they intend to put CGT up from 18% to 40% for people who have second homes.
