Con-Demned?
So the Tories are in at number 10, but only with the help of the LibDems and because of Nick Clegg 60% of the nation that didn’t vote Conservative have had to witness the image of David Camerons moon face entering through the door with no handle.
Is this good or bad for us? Well it’s mixed, bitter sweet, like buying a bag of Lemon Bon Bons and finding them interspersed with little rolled up sugar sprinkled turds, after the initial horror you tell yourself it’s alright because there are Lemon Bon Bons in there, then realise at some point you are going to HAVE to eat the turd.
I know everyone is hating the LibDems at the moment for making this deal, but we shouldn’t, we should hate The Labour Party. Gordon Browns timing over the last couple of days has been impeccable. When he announced his intention to step down to kick start talks of a progressive alliance it was timed to cause maximum pain to David Cameron as Mr Browns foot connected squarely with his posh teeth. It was sad however that others in The Labour Party took that as a signal to start clammering for leadership like a bunch of starving rats trying to eat their way through the heated cage on Gordon Browns sagging middle aged abdomen.
After the first Labour MP came out saying that a Lib-Lab coalition wasn’t a good idea that was the nail in the coffin, for a so called left wing party to give up the country to the Conservatives and slip into opposition that easily is disgraceful and it is the fault of The Labour Party the Tories are now appointing people with right wing views as Minister for Equality.
Nick Clegg had little choice, Labour made a progressive coalition unviable and the only other alternative was to allow a Arsehole Conservative minority Government, which would have been a cop out and meant the chance for a referendum on electoral reform was out of the question.
When I voted in this election I voted for a hung parliament as I believed it was the best we could hope for, it was either that or an outright Tory victory. What I wanted out of a Hung Parliament was a coalition government, I would have preferred that coalition to not include the Tories. Honestly I believed that was achievable, but Labour went and royally fucked it up.
Initially I was gutted by this coalition, now I am reserving judgement. We don’t know what is going to happen, we haven’t been in this situation before so let’s wait and see if the Tories eat the nice sandal wearing LibDems alive or if the concessions the Conservatives have made tear the party up from the inside.
