the offer, as we understand it was made by frederick blair junior, not the senior. it was probably made on behalf of the president, who did not want to be turned down if that were the case, and actually, probably wanted to feel out general lee's real intentions and his patriotism in this case. beyond that, we don't know the details. we know that leverage and to this offer if that were made because he went over to see scott, right there after, and told him that he apparently had this offer and rejected it. scott said he was making the biggest mistake of his life. lee was held in great regard by general scott, as i mentioned one of the best soldiers in the army. he had considerable experience in staff positions. whether or not he was jumped over other people, apparently made no difference. at this point, they were looking for the right individual to handle this. and fat, one thing that grant when he became a lieutenant insisted on that he did not have the follow the order of seniority to promote officials. you will find, after general grant became commander in chief,

tony blair also managed it three times. that's the 1997 general election result. well over half the mps were from the labor party. but at the last general election, david cameron fell short. so he needed the liberal democrats to get him over that crucial halfway line so he could be certain he could win votes in the house of commons. but what is either of those two big parties, labors or conservatives, with the lib dems emerge the general election without more than half the seats between them? well, then the smp could surface as a powerful player here at westminster or perhaps the greens or maybe parties from northern ireland or the dup. it could all get pretty messy. the polls suggest this place is no longer dominated by two big parties like it once was. instead, the politics of the u.k. have become much more complicated. so unless like margaret thatcher or tony blair, one of the party leaders gets enough mps to sweet into downing street here, they're going to have to do a deal. that could mean a coalition when mps from other parties get ministerial cars and jobs

this was not the situation you had with tony blair in 2004, where he called in the cameras and made afic announcement and this was the announcement and it was all premeditated. the prime minister was chopping carrots, is the line. and misspoke. francine: it is still significant. what does it mean that he should not have spoken at all -- what does it mean, that he should not have spoken at all? >> as i say, this was a standard question and it is a question to which there is no good answer and the answer that the prime minister gave is one of the not get answers. what does it mean? in the short term, it means that you suddenly get a lot of speculation about who will succeed him and he, helpfully as he has done before in in in to view with bloomberg, listed some of the people who might succeed him. you get a sudden sort of flurry of speculation about that. now let's be clear the big question hanging over david cameron right now is not and has never been whether he would be prime minister in 2021, the big question is whether he will be prime minister in june. francine: this gives him the
