Miliband or Johnson for Prime Minister, Clegg for Deputy Prime Minister.
Brown for the role of "great statesman, doing the decent thing, in the national interest".

In a perverse way, I wouldn't mind. I would like Labour to have to implement the policies to restructure the deficit and keep the financial markets happy (to enable us to keep borrowing in the short to medium term).
Then the lefties would finally see how much of a mess all of this spending has got us in and realise that you have to live within your means. Then, maybe for once, the left-wing lies about the Tories not caring about public servies would be seen for they are.
The most important issue for any country is the economy; without that, there isn't the tax revenues available to spend on public services. Labour always fucks up the economy. End Of.

Ed if you had to put your house on it, who do you think will be in Number 10 as PM on 1st June?
Sounds like a dream team, but is it possible, for Milliband to take over as PM?
I think he'd be better off as just Labour leader in shadow cabinent to get him used to being leader before being crowned king.

Hm right, that'd be fair then wouldn't it. The country overwhelming vote out a non elected Prime Minister, and you advocate replacing him with another one.

It's too early to say. It seems clear that Cameron is stupid enough to do a deal with Clegg. But I don't know whether Clegg is stupid enough to do a deal with Cameron.

I'm not ADVOCATING anything. I'm PREDICTING a possible outcome.
We don't elect prime ministers. We elect members of parliament. I am CERTAIN that the LibDem member of parliament elected in my constituency doesn't want Cameron as prime minister. Neither do his supporters.

And I'm CERTAIN, that absolutely no conservative member of parliament elected in their constituencies across the country don't want Brown/Milliband or anyone else whose party came second in the election to be Prime Minister.

It's not a football match.
Conservatives got the most votes of a single party, but more people voted for left leaning parties than right.
Lord Bracknell

Agreed.
But there aren't enough Conservative MPs to prevent that happening, if Clegg decides to do a deal with Labour. And a deal with Labour might well deliver what the Lib Dems want ... proportional representation, more LibDem MPs, and a permanent role for the LibDems in running the country.

This is the one hope for stopping the dismally rejected Tories from getting back for a long stretch. LibDem supporters just do not trust the Tories,and their policies are what the LibDems have argued against.Of course,for these leaders who claim to be pulling together in "the national interest",I fear they are pulling together for self interest,to get out of it what they can for themselves,rather like the expenses scandal but on a larger scale.
If Clegg has the national interest at heart he should stand aloof from both parties,which would mean a Tory minority govt until the next election.
Come on LibDems,let the Nation decide !

But another way of looking at it is that more people voted for the more liberal lib dems and conservatives than the more authoritarian labour party.
