mykeyb Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 4 additional Libdems in the cabinet as well. Honest attempt at trying to make the coalition government work or have they sold their souls for power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Home Sec will be an interesting one because the Libs might take that. Wonder if they'll keep the Minister of Justice arrangement in place? Always hated that title.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Campbell behaving like a total word removed on Newsnight. Enjoy your retirement you piece of shit. Actually, please don't enjoy any more of you life. Get a debilitating disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hated that title.. I hope they junk that Minister of Justice shite. Totally ridiculous. Toss it in the same bin as the Human Rights Act.

OutByEaster? Posted May 11, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2010 When the dust settles and they all get round a table I think they'll realise they've got a tremendously hard job to do. The world is in a state and we're right up there in terms of trouble; this wasn't a great prize to win. I think there's a reasonably good bunch of politicians in place (I actually had nothing against any of the parties in this election to be honest) but I think the things they'll need to do are going to make them very unpopular. In so far as I can see, the country needs to save an absolute fortune and it's already struggling to operate, that means we'll need to pay more tax and we'll need to reduce the provision of our services. Whoever had got the job faced the urgent need to do an Ellis on the country, I hope they've got the balls to take the flak and deliver, but I fear they'll spend more time trying to hide the problem from us than fix it properly. Good luck Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg; you'll need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The biggest problem is how to cut the over inflated public sector and invest in more small buisnesses to create jobs without pissing everyone off and causing some form of angsty revolt.

Ghost_of_Pongo_Waring Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hopefully it's a genuine attempt by both parties. It could be interesting being given a chance to see how the LibDems handle Government, even if it's on a small scale. Might see them become an actual option for outright Government rather than mainly as a 'protest' vote against whichever of Labour or Conservative is in power. Interesting times ahead.
