Coalition - made in heaven?

So - the people have spoken.  The Conservative and Lib-Dem together.

Labour are now bleating that the Lib-Dems have done anything to get into power - no complaints while Labour thought they had a chance to keep their grubby hands on the reins of power.  Brown resigning in a transparent and desperate effort to derail the Conservative / Lib-Dem talks.

Let's be clear here, one of the major reasons that the country is in such a parlous economic position is down to Brown and his stewardship of the economy - selling our gold reserves, allowing the banking institutions to run riot.  Yes, it is now a global problem, but one that could have been prevented by world governments, including Labour, if they had controlled the banking institutions.

We now have 5 years of this new coalition.  Now, before the 'pundits' act mischievously as is already happening, why don't we give the new government a chance?  After all, there have been concessions made on each side.  We now have different views within the government - this could stimulate healthy debate and some positive policies focused on the interests of the people of this country.

We are in for a rough ride, courtesy of the mess Labour has left us in.  I will be interested to see how it unfolds.
