[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb]Well it'd make a change from all the rich Scots screwing up the country...well the part of the country that's England, while somehow giving themselves a separate government that makes Scotland a better run place to live. Odd that.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, that's what it is, a massive Scottish conspiracy to ruin England. You got us. Because it's not as if Scotland has suffered at the hands of previous governments, is it? No, all milk and honey up here. Jesus. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm sorry, but devolution is bullshit unless their is pairty in all parts of the UK. People may have stopped talking about it but the West Lothian Question still exists. This may sound like a whingy gripe, but it is not fair. As for the election, firstly, who else sniggers a little bit at 'hung' parliament? Secondly, I don't believe that there can be any REAL coalition between LibDem and Con, for the reasons FawnDoo said. There's very little policy overlap so it would be a very uncomfortable relationship. When the next election comes, which I expect will be soon, it will be when the Tories have consolidated their power, kept every thing safe and cozy, and are confident that they can win an outright majority without the need for Clegg. Unless the Liberal Democrats make serious political gains and get some kind of election reform in before then (no hope there, I fear) they will be made to suffer in the next election by those who are angry and have lost their faith in Clegg and those who move to the Tories. And that can not be good. I can not see a good way out of this mess. LibCon will one sided and shoot down any chance for real change. LibLab is at total odds to the election results (allthough their combined share of the vote would be greater than the Tories) and a loose coalition across several small or fringe parties will fall appart like a table from IKEA made by a monkey with learning difficulties. A coalition government I don't see as workable. Lastly, well done Caroline Lucas. Nice to see a Green MP, even if it is only the one. Anyone know what happens to her MEP seat? Presuambly she had to stand down once elected as an MP? [/QB][/QUOTE]
