These Three Musketeers are taking way to long leaving the country without a government during this time of dire straits! Whatever your decisions maybe, it's time to seal the deal and form the government before further delay!
(BBC) - Conservative leader David Cameron says it is "decision time for the Liberal Democrats" over which party they will back to form a government.
Mr Cameron, whose party won the most seats and votes but were short of a majority, said he hoped they would make the right decision.
It follows days of talks between the Tories and Lib Dems, after the UK election resulted in a hung parliament.
On Monday the Lib Dems formally opened talks with Labour about a rival deal.
Gordon Brown announced Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg had requested formal negotiations with Labour - as he said he would step down as Labour leader by September.
The Conservatives countered by upping their offer to the Lib Dems - promising a referendum on changing the voting system to the "alternative vote" - if the Lib Dems back them in a coalition government
Labour and the Tories are both trying to woo the Lib Dems with promises on electoral reform as the battle to form a new government reaches its critical phase. A Lib Dem source said earlier it was "crunch time" for talks.
A meeting of Lib Dem MPs continued beyond midnight and ended with no firm decisions taken, the BBC understands.
Labour are offering to put the AV system into law and then hold a referendum asking voters if they want a proportional representation voting system - a key issue for the Lib Dems.
The party's ruling national executive committee is set to meet to discuss the prospect of a coalition and the time it will take to replace Mr Brown.
