Quote:
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has indicated he might find it difficult to do a deal with Gordon Brown in the event of a hung Parliament.
In a Daily Telegraph interview, he says Mr Brown is "a desperate politician".
It comes as Mr Brown says that he wants a "new politics", with the two parties creating an informal alliance to keep the Conservatives out of power.

Not surprising, like I've said before I imagine if Labour ask the LibDems to form a coalition in a hung parliament then they'd only do it if Labour agree to ditch Gordon.

It may be worth noting that in a hung parliament, even if the tories are the largest party, it is the previous Government that has first opportunity to form a coalition.

And that requires support from the minor parties and if the Liberals still hold enough seat then Labour will need to appease the Liberals and very fast.
