Sky Sources: Gordon Brown To Resign Tonight

Huw Borland, Sky News Online Prime Minister Gordon Brown will resign tonight, according to Sky News political correspondent Joey Jones.

Jones said: "He just wants to get this over with. It's presumably quite likely now that we will see David Cameron walking up Downing Street in the not-distant future."

Mr Brown wants to move on to charity work and literature, Sky sources said.

The revelations follow senior Liberal Democrat Vince Cable telling Sky a deal on forming a coalition government between his party and the Conservatives is "very, very close to being done".

Its too bad.

In a coalition with the LibDems they won’t fix their economy and spending and they will fall like Greece. The EU has already said they won’t bail out the UK.

The Tories will be blamed by the sheeple when it happens.

Cameron is an idiot to take it. The next government won’t last very long, and he will have to take responsibility for everything in the next election.

When the debt crisis comes, the Tories-if they are in charge- will vanish as a political entity. It will be followed by the creation of a People’s State.

At this point, that appears a virtual certainty.

Oh, and Cameron will be right there for that. He might as well change their name to the green tories.

Well I hope Brown gets replaced by Ed Balls. Either the best name in politics or the most unfortunate, depending on how you look at it.

I have visions of ‘conservative’ David Cameron and Obama walking hand in hand, with Cameron gushing over the new wonderful relationship...

Then the left shoving this in our face for the next three years how Obama could find common ground with a conservative oversees, but not the hyper-partisan GOP.
