There is no way Cameron will resign - unless something comes up to make his position untennable - and the way things are going, that is not an outside possibility by any means.

You don't get to the top of the political greasy pole of any party, much less the Tories, without developing a skin as thick as a dozen rhinos!

Cameron will sail through this - the fire is not in his direction - at least, not for now...

As em10 says, why should DC resign? As for Labour getting back in power, I hope that is not for many, many years.

Did Brown also have to pay money back in the expenses scandal?

2009
Labour ministers last night queued up to blame anyone but themselves for the expenses scandal.
Gordon Brown - who charged taxpayers £6,500 to pay his brother for a cleaner - insisted 'the system' was the problem, while Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman attempted to suggest that Commons officials were at fault, rather than MPs. She said that the onus was not on politicians to submit legitimate expenses but on the Parliamentary authorities to police the claims.

What on earth has Cameron done wrong? He employed someone in a political (not government) capacity who was generally reckoned to be good at his job. He was funded by the Tory Party, not the taxpayer. He would not have taken this decision on his own, but with advice from colleagues. Trying to link Cameron with any sleaze or illegality is about as stupid as saying that the next time a kitchen hand is sacked for making off with a few tins of salmon from No 10 the PM should resign for hiring him/her in the first place - a serious error of judgement!

Of course they won the election, they won the the most votes overall, but not enough to form a strong government that is why they decided to join with the Lib-Dems to form a coalition.

You would be correct if you had said no one voted for a coalition government.

"If he'd acted faster and more forcefully, some voters might have changed their minds"

Wouldn't have made the slightest difference to the election result, I am afraid,

plautus, Coulson wasn't a kitchen hand. On the contrary - he was in the kitchen cabinet. And he is not suspected of stealing a tin of fish but of corrupting police. There's a slight difference.

Also, of course, he was basically a News International mole in Number 10.

And no, Cameron wasn't alone: it was supposedly Osborne who recommended him. But Cameron chose Osborne.
