So if we become a ConDem Nation...

[Simster]

who would you prefer as CHANCELLOR?

 

[newhaven seagull 85]

ken clarke

 

[sparkie]

ken clarke

 

[jezzer]

love ken, too old now though.

 

[pork pie]

ken clarke

You must be having a bubble. the guy is far too pro-Europe. A tory MUST have such a senior position.

 

[newhaven seagull 85]

i am going to change my mind actually ken clarke with vince cable as chief secretary to the treasury

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Another one for Ken Clarke here. We need presence, respect and impact and I dont think the others can provide.

 

[Trufflehound]

love ken, too old now though.

Only 3 years older than Cable.

 

[Gwylan]

I like Ken Clarke - it won't happen in a month of Sundays but he'd be my choice. Osborne looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

 

[DJ Leon]

Osbourne vs Cable. Not much of a contest is it?

 

[Simster]

Osbourne vs Cable. Not much of a contest is it?

No, but Clarke is an excellent shout.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Osbourne as chancellor. No chance of Cable as chancellor though he could well be chief secretary.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Cable or Clark.

Am very happy with either...

 

[Hotchilidog]

Holy crap Osborne could be chancellor! in all the hoo ha that particular horror had crawled out of my mind. If the Lib-Dems want to leave the economy to him then they are welcome to this coalition.

I cannot see it being Cable, the tories are the senior partner by some margin and will quite sensibly keep the big posts to themselves. I do wonder if Vince can see himself getting up to defend Osborne's budget in the House, that would be a pitiful spectacle.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

don't want Osbourne, won't be Cable, couldn't stand Ken again. In all honesty, I want Darling to stay. I thought he was very good

Only on number of seats. This coalition has a 59% popular vote, of which the lib dema are responsible for well over a third, I think it would be very reasonable recognition of this if Cable was chancellor.

 

[ryeseagull]

Nigel Lawson

He was great the first time. And his daughter is HOT.

 

[The Large One]

Uncle Spielberg.

 

[beorhthelm]

Clarke or Hague.

in fact it has been suggested Osborne will be shuffled off somwhere as the scapegoat for the less than convincing election, leaving the way open for Clarke into the Chancellor and in the event of coalition, Cable into Treasuary Secretary.

But most example cabinets that I've seen have pegged Clegg in as home secretary. I can't see the Lib Dems being given HS and Chancellor.
