No, NYC hasn't descended into the dark:

Brown Out, Cameron In


I imagine we'll soon learn the details of the pact.

I know a few people who'll be on suicide watch now. A few others who'll think all of England's troubles are behind them.

Personally, I think it's a shame Plaid Cymru didn't do better. As an Englishman, I'd have voted for them.

Hey, if Plaid Cymru had done just a little better, Cameron could have done a deal just with them! Welsh independence would be just down the street a bit.

I bet Cameron must be thinking 'what the hell did I do'?


And Clegg - not sure what he's going to get out of this other than association with a government that's going to have to make some really unpopular decisions.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

All Cameron has to do to guarantee a permanent Conservative majority is to give Scotland and Wales their independence. The point at which an independent Scotland turned off the oil supply would be particularly amusing.

I just can't see this alliance lasting. Ideologically, they seem too different. Most of the Liberals (I still don't like the term Lib-Dem) I've known really dislike the Conservative Party. The idea that the Conservatives could allow the adoption of proportional representation also seems very unlikely.

They won't turn it off. They'll make more cash selling it and collecting all the revenues for Scotland. Wonder how much that would remove from the UK yearly revenues - do you know how much NSea oil contributes?

The UK has been a net importer of oil since 2006.


As far as revenue equivalent of what they produce, figure ~1.6MM bpd, @ 80 is around $46B.

You're spoiling my racially stereotypical vision of groups of dour old Scotsmen rather like Frasier from Dad's Army sitting in a little Nissan hut cackling about the sassenachs freezing to death on a braw brich moonlich nich the noo!
