Unlike many pundits I believe one should acknowledge when the judgement call does not work out. The Labour-Liberal Democrat pact to win the General election appears to have come to nowt and following meetings tonight one suspects the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats will take over the task of running the UK political system.
This could be a big opportunity for Labour. The negotiations likely failed to overcome the enthusiam of many newly-minted MPs being prepared to share power versus having no power as a dominant opposition.
One of the interesting issues is how many ministerial and committee positions the new administration will share between the Parties.
For Labour one can only assume a flurry of calls into number 10 by those seeking to be placed on the outgoing Prime Ministers honours list. Sir Alistair Campbell anyone ???
