    I imagine quite likely so. To be fair it will be a high price they pay for their 5 years of having some power in the coalition. But they have behaved rather childishly; ever since they lost their AV referendum (no you CAN'T have one on the EU, you pesky voters!) they have been stubborn and it seems the only policy Clegg will be remembered for is his daft school meals idea which is causing mayhem and costing millions.

    I doubt they will have any seats to bargain with if there is another hung parliament. Ukip might have a few though......to the writer who complained that not enough had been done to halt immigration, there is little or nothing that can be done about EU immigration while we remain a member. They certainly ought to be putting atop to that from outside the EU though, unless the person has a job which one of our own people cannot do. You know, like they do in New Zealand? Are they racists I wonder??

    For the sake of democracy, I hope not. The fewer parties we have in the Commons, the more power the Conservatives have. The current system is rigged in their favour. Rule by the Tories means the only people who will see wage rises in the foreseeable future are the biggest earners. Average wages have flatlined ever since 2007. The Conservative Party has no interest in remedying this situation, nor the crippling living costs, nor the housing shortage, nor the skills shortages among natives. They won't do anything to slow immigration because they don't like spending money on border control (and that's what is needed). However you feel about the LibDems, we need more political parties vying for votes for the sake of a healthy political system. Proportional representation is the answer.

    Yes, no doubt. The president is only at 40% and the Republican Congress is at a whopping 12%. Fox news viewers realize that 12 is higher than 40 any day in the week.

    I certainly think that posh boy Nick Clegg has the credibility of a Gnat in the eyes of the Public

    Well, they're still in govt and influencing the lives of you and me, unfortunately, so they are clearly not finished yet! And won't be until they are kicked out of office next May.
