>> @MarkReckons Now Cameron has to prove himself wrong about coalitions in order to be successful http://bit.ly/cyHcA2
>> @willhowells Been sat by the phone all day and still no call from Number 10. If I were a less optimistic person, I’d have written off my chances by now.
>> @nickcarthew Must have got something in my eye as the pictures of Nick arriving at No 10 were broadcast.
>> @joswinson An unexpected situation, and the chance to put Lib Dem policies into practice: http://bit.ly/doe2uW
>> @aligoldsworthy Not quite sure why people are complaining about 5 year fixed term parliaments. It’s been the maximum in the UK since 1911 after all..
