Brown out, Dave in

Presumably as a result of reading this blog, HM Queen has handed Gordon Brown his P45 and sent for David Cameron.

It is too early to tell the price the Tories are having to pay for this. There is talk that Clegg will become Deputy PM, that the new government will abandon Tory plans on inheritance tax and supporting the family, but will commit to a referendum on the Alternative Vote and the Liberal plan to raise the income tax threshhold to £10,000. And there will be six LibDem cabinet ministers.

It already looks like a very high price to pay, and I suppose there is more in the offing.
