Wake up and smell the coffee

The coalition government has resulted in much displeasure amongst many Lib-dem and Conservative supporters and MPs.

It's time to get real!  Consider:
  • Would the UK public really have stomached Labour/Lib-dem governing - the second and third in the polls, i.e. the losers.  This would have been a affront to democracy.
  • An, apparently, unwritten constitution has allowed this situation to happen.
  • For the Conservatives, a minority government would have been extremely difficult to operate as an effective concern.
  • For the Lib-dems - yes, you may have had to swallow your pride.  However, you now have a real say in the politics of the UK.  Not bad for a party that came a very poor third.
  • Coalition means give and take on both sides - grown up stuff!
So, stop moaning and get on with it!  Let's see if you can all behave like adults and work together.  Put aside differences and work for the country - that'll be a change!
