Rainbow Alliance, here we come

This looks choreographed. Brown steps down now, and Clegg will probably announce this evening or tomorrow morning that no deal is possible with the Tories, because they are not prepared to act in the best interests of the UK by giving the people a referendum on a fairer voting system. This will open the way for a progressive coalition to push through a referendum, and promise a new election once the voting system has been fixed, without the LibDems being tainted by Brown's high level of unpopularity.

Thay already named their price in ££s I think. Sure I saw that somewhere.
No way Lab would ever hand independence - it's all that stops WEstminster being ruled forever by the Tiries like the White Witch in Narnia.

Why "forever"? The Tories get in, then they get voted out the first general election that their support falls low enough. As long as Scotland is in the UK, that's always a tipping point that occurs for the UK as a whole a little before it occurs for England, which means the Tories never appear to lose England when they lose the election. But that's like saying lost things are always found in the last place you look.
