THE TELEGRAPH: Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, has promised to reach a decision on power-sharing negotiations as quickly as possible - but warned that any agreement would need to ''stand the test of time''.
The Liberal Democrat leader said his team was working ''flat out around the clock'' trying to secure a breakthrough in the hung parliament talks.
William Hague also said he was ''optimistic'' as Lib Dem and Tory negotiators gathered at the Cabinet Office in Whitehall for further discussions this morning.
Speaking outside his London home, Mr Clegg said: ''I don't think a prolonged period of uncertainty is a good thing. That's why we want to arrive at a decision as soon as possible.
''But I hope people equally understand that it would be better to get the decision right rather than rushing into something which won't stand the test of time.'' >>> | Monday, May 10, 2010
