A New Hope

Sorry I can't resist one more polly tickle post.

We have a Conservative Prime Minister ruling a Conservative government. Er? no we don't we have a Conservative government with the Lib Dems holding the choke chain in case it attacks the weak and defenceless. No we don't, what do we have? The humourists amongst us wil have spotted that what we have is a ConDem government, let's hope they don't live up to the name.

I think we can ignore the opening speech from Digital Dave. Opening speeches have little relevance to what comes after. Thatcher quoting Saint Francis of Assissi, given the following years of her rule, now seems almost obscene.

Cleggie's Deputy Prime Minister and I'm sure he feels well chuffed at the prospect but I'd suggest just a backward glance to the fat fool who held the title before him and then realise that sticking a ticket on something stating 'organic manure in an ethically produced container' on something doesn't change the fact that its still a sack of shit. Deputy Prime Minister is nothing more than a lable. Whether there's a useful quality product behind that lable or a remaindered, end of line, please take it off our hands remains to be seen.

We've had the officially required admiring speeches about Dear Prudence who now shuffles of, nearly tearful, into political retirement to a chorus of cooing admiration but he can't fail to have heard the popping of champagne corks and raucous cheering before he was even out of sight.

Someone else is now out of power, though I'm sure he's been working on a way back in even before we knew he was out. Mandlebrot, no matter how many layers you peel away you still end up with the same oily git. The bastard love child of Vader and Voldemort, with none of the redeeming features of either, will have been brown nosing anyone, with even a hint of influence, who has been foolish enough to drop the soap whilst he's in the same building. I'd suggest Cameron tries to find a position in his cabinet for Luke and young Harry as the evil one will find a way back in where one doesn't even exist.

Dave's got what he wants and Nick's got influence beyond his wildest dreams and even Labour have got what they want, given the election result. Large numbers of them ran round from pillar to post telling any Tory who would listen "Don't worry we wont be backing any deals"

The Lib Dems couldn't afford another election financially, Labour couldn't afford one politically and the Conservatives are in anyway. If they can make it work until the vote for fixed parliaments goes through and keep it together until Labour feel strong enough to start the "Come and have a go if you think your hard enough" we may just see a permanent change in a corrupt and out dated political system.
We just need a wedding planner now to shuffle the seating plan in the Commons so prissy, abstemious aunt Maude has to sit next to uncle Fred the alcy gambling addict for a bit less 'Yah Boo' in the house.

They'll probably screw it up but at least let's enjoy a few days of hope.
