Brown resigning as Prime Minister any minute. No ‘Plan B’ for the Lib Dems, so they’re going to take it or they’re the world’s stupidest politicians on the planet. Let’s assume that they’re not, that the coalition deal is just too damn tasty for them to throw away their toys and go sulk with Labour on the opposition benches.

ID Cards? Doomed. Digital Economy Bill? Doomed.

I said on Twitter that I’d have been a bit deflated if the Tories had won outright on Friday morning… but now? Now I’m quite excited. I’m actually… well… happy. What is this curious emotion? Happiness? It’s uncomfortable and odd and I don’t think I like it.

More later as and when we get some actual bloody facts out of anyone at all.

UPDATE: Brown has resigned. Shown the world his young boys, too, which was a surprise. An emotional ending for him. Sarah looked crushed and choked, Brown looked like the weight of the world was finally of his shoulders. Barnacle Brown joke can now be retired. All told I think Brown’s character arc for this series of Government has had a great finale, but lacked variety during the bulk of the show.

Back to business then… Lib Dem MPs and the Federal Executive now have a choice. They can join the Government, with cabinet posts and the £10k allowance and if we’re really really lucky there’ll be some kind of Freedom Bill or Great Repeal Act. Or they can throw it all away and bring about another General Election in a few months time, which they can’t afford.

Excruciating that it’s not a done deal yet.
