And so farwell to any possibility of a second Cameron term

[ffutures]

According to the Evening Standard, which is admittedly right-wing nutter heaven, our beloved leader wants to "fix 120,000 problem families", "End the human rights culture" and impose "citizen service for 16-year-olds"

Words fail me. So let's try a totally unbiased poll...

[Poll #1769880]

Is there anyone who thinks that the Lib-Dems will survive this coalition, whether or not the Conservatives do?

I'm hoping that there'll be a reversal of the two factions within the party (The Orange Book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orange-Book-David-Laws/dp/1861977972) faction, and the more traditional left-leaning lot). Regrettably I didn't pay enough attention to the situation before the election, and of course neither did the mainstream media (who didn't see the LDs as worth knowing any more about than "oh, they're also probably going to get a few MPs in".) If I'd realised the entire top tier of the party - and thus the entire coalition negotiating team following Election - were from the right-leaning segment, I might have been less fulsome in cheering them on... =:o\

Of course, even if we get that reveral, it will take a miracle to make voters aware of that fact that it's happened, and what it means, in time for a left-leaning liberal party to get any decent share of the vote either this election or the next. Do our best hope is a revitalised labour, which... we didn't seem to have yet by a long chalk. =:o{

So the election will come down to "do you love or hate cameron", with the haters voting labour out of sheer desperation. "A party that's lost the ability to organise a piss up in a brewery must be better for us than a party that sends out neartly organised teams to every brewery, who think the idea is to piss in the beer".
