Here are some of David Cameron comments around the election:

Question: What’s your favourite joke? Answer: Nick Clegg.

“"All things could die" in the messy horse-trading of hung-parliament negotiations.”

"Don't ever let it be said that politicians don't have some principles and beliefs that they fight for."

“An indecisive result would lead to "bickering, horse-trading and arguing" at Westminster.’

"You should hold office because the people vote for you, not because your party has stitched up some deal.”

Some of Nick Clegg’s comments:

“The one thing that is going to be absolutely clear as we come out this election is there’ll be a very strong focus on our electoral system,”

“It’s not about me playing ‘eeny meeny miney mo’ with the other parties. They can’t avoid our demands. Other parties will not be able to avoid working with us.”

“I start from a very simple first principle: it is not Gordon Brown or David Cameron or Nick Clegg who are kingmakers in British politics, it’s the British people.”

"I'm saying the Conservatives aren't being straight with people about how on Earth they are going to pay for it.”
Immediately after the Conservative/LibDem coalition was hammered out Dave and Nick held a joint press conference to show the world how much they really loved and admired each other. What a difference a day and a hung Parliament makes to political survival and necessity.

They said, ‘We are confident that the coming together of two political parties to form one strong Government marks a new era for Britain and for British politics. Now, let's get down to work.' How sweet.

At his first Downing Street press conference, David referred to a 'Liberal Democrat Conservative Government', 'our Liberal-Conservative government', and a 'historic Liberal Democrat-Conservative administration'.

I liked the comment I heard on a TV trailer, ‘What else have these two privileged, public schoolboys got in common except a lust for power?’ Good question, and one to which the answer will unfurl during our first fixed length Parliament.

The skeletons that will be found inside the Treasury cupboards will be frighteningly apt; stark, bare, with no clothes and no pockets which are not required anyway as there is no money left to put in them.

We are entering a new political era that is full of challenging times. The country is ready for change and the opportunity has arrived. We can only wish the new coalition well and hope they do us proud.

Watch this space.
