Do people on Twitter want to accept the Tory invitation to join government? Ntljhn tweets: "Absolutely! My government will have no room for smoke and mirrors", JORDENest1982 says he would play his part because the electorate "would probably do a better job" and CharlesWBrown likes the motto: "If you vote for us on May 6, you'll be in power on May 7". Others are more sceptical - Ayelet_couk says that leaving government control to the public leads to the kind of greed that triggered the recession, while OfficesUpNorth tweets: "Sounds too much like they don't actually want to run the country.
