Well, isn't this perfectly hilarious. The build up to this vastly hyped, and fiercely fought election battle has concluded in a truly English whimpering style - probably like our exit from the World Cup in the coming months! MPs, bless them, are now sleeping, and now, after exercising our democratic right, surprise, we are no further ahead! Ironically, we are now in a state of 'poker politics' with Clegg seeming to be honourable and gracious in defeat, Brown scrabbling around whining for support from the Liberals, whilst Cameron is remaining coy for the time being at least!It seems that the three main parties are all putting the shades on. However, the real failure here, an obvious point I know, is that of the disproportionate British electoral system! The Tories should, hands down, be allowed to form a majority government after achieving a bigger wing than Thatcher achieved. The reason Labour hold such strong support in built up areas around Manchester, Glasgow etc. is because they have re-drawn so many constituency boundaries as to widen their grasp over a dedicated/deluded?! electorate! Nice.
Oh, and didn't Nick and his cronies do so well. Stalling after talks with Mr. Hague and co. and striking fear into the Tories by offering a ear to the prospect of a Leftist rainbow coalition... Cleggy boy played a blinder! 5 on the front bench after losing seats in the general election, all can't be bad. I suppose all that glitters in this case, is gold.
ReplyDeleteCameron Sir, I have entrusted my vote in you. I concede that going it alone would have rendered a premiership fairly meaningless, therefore concessions for a Con-Lib coalition were essential, but you must stand your ground now! Although it may be too late?!
