How long has Cameron got?

[Manlinose]

So why did Labour and the Tories both entertain it?

 

Why are they also mulling it over for the next election, especially as they now have more than one choice of coalition partner.

 

because they'd rather have a bit of power than none at all

pretty record-settingly bad.

 

The real problem is what will come next. I'm getting ever-so-slighltly apprehensive about what's ultimately in store, tbh. It could go to a VIth Republic...if we stay in charted territory.

 

Isn't Sarkozy waiting in the wings to be re-elected?

Isn't Sarkozy waiting in the wings to be re-elected?

Not officially. But possibly. Probably. Though don't write DSK off just yet.

 

Whoever torpedo'd him with that story when he exited the IMF, was either a political genius lining himself up for multiplied rewards after <whoever other than DSK: Royale or Hollande> term (i.e. Sarkozy) or a sorcerer's apprentice whose attempts have backfired rather spectacularly (i.e. the socialist party and unions).

 

'End of the day, that scandal is bygones, DSK's got favourables again.

 

And that's all by-the-by: I'm more concerned about the follow-on policies and associated pushback (as the longer these policies keep being postponed, the more virulent they'll be - and the backlash), than which politican and what party.

 

Now, Hollande's abysmal approval rating is the least of British/Sheffield Forum posters' interests right now...but if I was going to start a thread about "who's got how long left in power", objectively, like him or loathe him Cameron would be a fair way down the list of 'possibles' for that thread.
