He noted that the world had not stopped for our election, that things had to be done, government had to continue and they would do so. However he also recognised and respected Cameron and Clegg talking to each other first before saying if their talks broke down he would be happy to speak to any of the leaders. No matter what outcome people want, he is right here. Government has not yet been replaced as no one has a majority and there are world matters that have to be attended to, so they have to do it. The conservatives got the most votes, and therefore have the moral right if not necessarily the constitutional right to try to form a coalition first.
