UK Politics VII - Going down on Downing Street

[MinDonner]

Too much? Too soon? :leaving:

[Edda van Heefmstra Ruston]

:rofl: Perfect!

[Chaldanya]

Nothing is ever too soon. And also I'm glad you won that race.

Mormie: No need to get rid of Brown/Clegg. Hardened socialist let down by prospective young liberal lover is won over by clumsy seduction tecniques...

I think you guys have ruined politics for me. I might not be able to watch another BBC election special ever again. :crying:

Nah, we've improved it. There'll be an extra frisson to the procedings.

And now I feel both dirty and proud - that's what coalition government gets you - a filthy but fulfilling compromise.

Agreement text here, probably.

[MinDonner]

Star-crossed lovers... separated only by the colour of their rosettes... will they ever be able to reconcile their differing views on the limitations of the EU trade mandate, or will that illicit rendezvous with the Northern Ireland Secretary wreck the relationship forever?

Or, in smileys:

:commie: :smileysex: :smoking: :fencing: :pimp: :love: :ack: :bawl:

[Chaldanya]

MinD: and thus was all fanfiction writ large in those smileys :D

"How could you desert your ideals and morals for that simpering, slimy Etonian" asked Brown in his light Scottish brogue. His eye full of hurt.

do you want me to go on??

OR we could talk about the agreement text.

Haven't read all of it but scanned the civil liberties section (that being one of the really big reasons as to why I'd never vote Labour) and they're scrapping the ID card scheme and regulating the way anti-terrorist legislation can be used. It's a start.

[Lummel]

"But Vincent, I've spent so long trying to be strong!" He cried as Cable stroked the younger man's hair, so luxouriant, yet upper class. "Shhh, its all right George, you are not the first one that I have taught to dance the deficit tango".

Truly it was to be the love that dared not speak it's name, Liberal yet Conservative but somehow completely Democratic.

[Zoë Sumra]

:rofl:

So now we've seen Cameron and Clegg staring adoringly at one another in their press conference, who's up for some slash-fic?

Some politics-slashy tweets I've seen mentioned on Livejournal in the past day or so:

The BBC appears to be shipping Nick Clegg and David Cameron. I don't know whether to be amused or horrified. LOL

If they become an OTP does David/Nick become Dick?

They just talked about them consumating their relationship

@hils_k Heh! Also, I need brain bleach. And Nick's far too good for him!

@catameringue LOL! It's so true. Maybe in later slash stories Gordon Brown will rescue Nick from David's evil clutches

Ah, so the BBC is now shipping Nick Clegg/Labour Party. Let's call it Clabour. Maybe a Clegg/Cameron/Labour OT3 is the answer

[Edda van Heefmstra Ruston]

Boris will be jealous.

[ljkeane]

Agreement text here, probably.

There seems to be an excessive amount of sticking the knife into Labour considering they lost but other than that there's nothing that jumps out as being hugely objectionable at the moment.

[Usotsuki]

I've only scanned it and there's supposed to be a more detailed paper coming out shortly (whatever the hell shortly means) that also spells out the non-policy agreements but nothing that makes me want to man the barricades and set fire to things immediately.

PS Lummel - nice job. I particularly enjoyed the deficit tango though you may want to add more glistening sweat next time.

[Alcibiades]

I just found this fun website with a bunch of David Cameron (and now Nick Clegg) poster spoofs: http://mydavidcameron.com/

Hope this wasn't posted already.

[Zoë Sumra]

It has been posted before, about two threads ago, in its Cameron-poster-only incarnation. Werthead made an ASOIAF-themed one that got onto the Guardian website. :)

[Chaldanya]

Beeb are reporting that Lib Dems are holding a vote on the coalition within the party. What would it mean for the government if the party voted against the coalition?

at this rate, presumably sweaty Clegg/Cameron hate sex.

[Xray the Enforcer]

I hope we can get that on Pay-Per-View.

PMQs just became a radically different format...

[Alcibiades]

PMQ? More like PMewwwww!
