    OK thanks for clarifying! I thought you meant formal which in my opinion has risks attached to it.

    Sounds like there could be some interesting developments ahead but one potential spoiler risk is there is a significant chunk of the labour party that would object to a formal pact. That's why there wasn't one in 1997 but more an informal pact were there was an understanding that there were certain seats they shouldn't campaign too hard in. I agree the Liberal Democrats have an identity crisis of sorts.

    I meant to put in a political historians quote that he is arguably the only Prime Minister who could be regarded as true radical but forgot! But you explained it so much better! It's strange to think of a Liberal Prime Minister and governor as the thought of a Liberal governor ever being the majority party and government in the UK seems inconceivable in my lifetime although some would argue their current incarnation are not truly a Liberal party or Liberal in characters but that's a whole new can of worms! PS Totally irrelevant now and you properly already figured out it was a typo autocorrect @msc but this post should have read historians viewed him as the only Prime minister who arguably COULD be regarded as a true radical NOT couldn't.

    On this day in 1908 former British Prime Minister Henry Campbell Bannerman died aged 71. This era in UK politics was pre the Labour party's existence in parliament. He was a Liberal Prime Minister and his premiership was between 1905 and 1908. He was succeeded by Asquith. Campbell Bannerman initially lead a minority government after the previous Prime minister Arthur Balfour resigned and Campbell Bannerman was then asked by King Edward VII to form the next government. He went on to win a landslide over the conservatives in 1906.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Maybe Charles is getting impatient?! But seriously accidents aside I have seen little to persuade me that the Queen is on her death bed or close to it. I don't take anything for granted but poor mobility in old age is not the same as being close to death.

    It's actually an ambiguous blend of both . There could certainly be health implications if he faces trial or jail over the incident.
