Guardian: Has a leaked memo that shows that the David Cameron and the Conservative Party would take a tough line with the EU, the Guardian states the following on this leak and the chances of a political pact between the Conservative Party and the Lib Dems, " dramatically undermined last night by the leaking of a top-secret letter ". The Guardian like the Lib Dems is pro EU, it wants the Lib Dems to keep Gordon Brown in power, it would be interesting to find out who leaked this memo, one can postulate that it either came from right wingers in the Conservative Party who do not want a deal with the Lib Dems or much more serious it came from the Government sources who want to keep Labour in power. This could be the last roll of the dice by the New Labour spin machine, they play to win and they play dirty.
A look at the Politics of the United States and the UK. The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community.

Respect for President Medvedev of Russia
The Sunday Times: Reports on the critical attack by President Medvedev of Russia on Stalin and his role in World War Two. I have to admit this blogger thought at first that President Medvedev was a puppet of PM Putin, but these strong words of attack on Stalin shows that President Medvedev is his own man, Putin in the past has stated his regret that the USSR fell, Medvedev has no love for the USSR. At the end of the day Stalin and Hitler killed millions, evil is evil, the UK had to work with Stalin to defeat Hitler, a threat to Europe, but the mistake that the West did was to look the other way at the crimes of Stalin pre and after World War Two, there just might be some hope for Russia if they can look at the past see the good and the bad, the era of Stalin was evil, if there is a hell Stalin and Hitler should be in its flames for all time.
Lines in the Sand - Conservative No Go Areas
Telegraph: Reports that David Cameron and the Conservative Party have stated that there are some areas that the Party will not move on to please the Lib Dems, this would be their plan to cap immigration, to be wary of more powers for the EU, and to keep the nuclear defence for the UK. The Lib Dems if they think should be glad, when it comes to these issues the Party is on the extreme left, this would explain in some respects why the Clegg mania after the First PM Debate did not help on election day. The Lib Dems have had a free ride since the 1920s, the have developed policies based on the fact that they never have to form a government, in other words quite flaky policies. If they have a political brain cell they can move from these policies and blame the Conservatives, otherwise they will be seen as a Party that has no place in real politics of the UK. The left of the Lib Dems have to grow up, or they could face political oblivion at the next election.

Cameron and Clegg MEETING
BBC News: Reports on a late night meeting between the Conservative Leader David Cameron and the Lib Dems Leader Nick Clegg. If and its a big IF folks the the Tories and the Lib Dems can form a political pact this would be a revolution in UK politics, if it worked and yes that is a big IF it could place Labour out of power for a generation. But lets not walk in to unmarked minefield folks, the deal could still fall apart, but for the Lib Dems to form an alliance with the Labour Party the present PM, Gordon Brown would have to fall on his sword, the question is does the Labour Cabinet have the backbone to kick Brown out and then get a new leader in and get a deal with Lib Dems. If one was a betting blogger one wold bet on a Conservative and Lib Dem pact, the UK is at War in Afghanistan, the economic mess of Greece could infect the rest of EU and more important the UK. Thus the political leaders don't have the time for long discussions, the money markets by mid week will start to sell UK bonds if there is no government in the UK. Thus time is not a friend for the Conservatives or the Lib Dems, don't mess this up Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg.
The DEAL ? Conservatives - Lib Dems
Guardian Election Blog: Reports that the David Cameron the leader of the Conservative Party has offered the Lib Dems three seats in his Cabinet, Home Secretary, Chief Secretary of the Treasury and Transport Secretary. Mr Cameron has gone out of his way to offer the Lib Dems real power and political reform, the question is can Nick Clegg take on the left wing of his Party. This side want to support Labour but seem to have forgotten the lessons of history, the Labour Party in the end always shafts the Libs or Lib Dems. Lets hope the Lib Dems support this generous offer by the Conservative Party.
Brown vs Clegg
Telegraph: Has an article on a BBC report on a heated argument between PM Brown and Lib Dem leader Nick Brown, it seems Brown is not keen on making way for a new Labour Leader to work with the Lib Dems. Thus as stated Nick Clegg is King maker after the May 6th election, the Lib Dems and Conservatives are in talks about forming a political pact, it is still on going at this moment in time, as has been reported the Labour Party and Lib Dems are having shadow talks should the talks fail between Clegg and Cameron. As to if its a good idea for the Conservatives to do a Pact with the Lib Dems this blog is reserving its judgement on that issue, lets see how the hours and days go by first, lets see who has the personal chemistry to work together for their own sake and the UK.
UK General Election Result and My Prediction
Overall folks I am happy with my prediction, on the % result of the election I was right on the Conservative vote, they got 36%, this was blog was wrong on the % result for Labour and Lib Dems, Labour got 29% not 28% and Lib Dems got 23% not 26%. As stated Nick Clegg and the Democrats would be the King makers, this process is still on going at this time. As BBC reports that the Conservative Party has 306 seats, Labour Party 258, Lib Dems 57.
