Nick Clegg for Prime Minister?

As we now have a “balanced Parliament”, it is crucially important to put together a working Government as soon as possible. It seems to me that the discussions between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats will be unable to resolve what are in effect, fundamental differences between their respective political positions. On the question of Electoral Reform alone, Clegg could not accept the offer of “setting up a committee” to look at the subject, and expect to retain any semblance of credibility with his party and more over the British people. On Europe, Defence, Nuclear power Public Expenditure, their differences are mountainous.
What then is the alternative? Clearly it would not be beyond the realms of possibility to create some form of coalition with the Labour Party. However, in this scenario, there is one huge problem. That problem is Gordon Brown. Never really accepted by many in the party as its proper leader, or in the Country as a rightful Prime Minister, Mr Brown ascended to the title through a coronation. It is already clear from comments made by or attributed to Mr. Clegg that the Lib/Dems will not accept any arrangement with the Labour Party under the leadership of Gordon Brown. This seems to be a significant obstacle.
However, there are already signs that moves are underway to replace Brown as leader.
In the event that a leadership contest is initiated, circumstances could arise whereby the question of stability in Government and a regeneration of Labour could be created.
Clearly, in my view, the British people would have great difficulty accepting yet another leader of the Labour Party as Prime Minister, where they had not had any opportunity to express an opinion as to whether the person was acceptable. Yet another coronation within the Labour Party, of an un apposed candidate assuming the position of holding the greatest office of State in this country, would be equally unacceptable to both people and institutions of Gt. Britain.
This problem could be resolved by a radical rethink of political attitude.
If Nick Clegg were to become Prime Minister of a Coalition Government, the way might be clear to resolving a number of issues to bring some form of stability to the economy, resolve the question of reform to the Electoral System and provide a basis for economic growth.
At the same time, the Labour Party would commence a leadership contest to replace Gordon Brown as Party Leader, and whoever became leader would also immediately assume the position of Deputy Prime Minister (and probably some other cabinet position) in Mr Clegg’s administration. The balance of such a coalition would of course, be the subject of agreement between the parties, and would no doubt raise eyebrows in the media.
