My prediction - the next general election will be the end of July

The rainbow coalition deal is really a non starter. The fact we are even thinking about it is more a product of the fact Nick Clegg doesn't command the support of his MPs and party than any form of logic.

My guess is that we are still heading for minority Conservative government. It will present a budget in the first 50 days which it will fail to get through Parliament, as Nick Clegg won't be able to control his weirdie beardie wing.

And a new general election will be called.

Expect to be back at the polling station around then end of July. As the Lib Dems are incapable of delivering stable government or government of any sort.

Double dealing with the Lib Dems

Looks like the Lib Dems have been playing both sides, and that Lib Dem activists and Executive would rather the economy crashed and burned with all the misery it will cause then they're chances of getting on the public pay roll should suffer.

Maybe Nick Clegg can still pull it off - but I'm starting to think a cynical rainbow coalition of denial based on self interested may be more likely than a stable LibCon coalition.

There will be very real trouble if it does and the voters are denied the change they voted for....
