So Brown went last night, with dignity. Cameron is in No.10 with Clegg as deputy. Today I watched the 30 so minute Cameron/Clegg press conference in the gardens behind 10 Downing street in which they said they are new united coalition. I have to say, they looked good together, and despite the doom and gloom brigade constantly reminding us of yesteryear (not just you either Pat) I think they may have just changed British politics forever, possibly for the better. Yes, I am optimistic, and why shouldn't I be? In fact why shouldn't others be, after all, this was how the vote panned out, nobody won with a gaping majority, and neither do we have a majority controlling parliament, so as a nation we basically will reap what we sow.
Politics has changed over the last few days, times change, people change and where the nation moved forward under Blair when he took over, I suspect we will move forward again. It's a coalition that looks charged and ready to go, ignore the naysayers and merchants of pessimism and give them a deserved chance without hanging onto fetters of the past. There may be cuts, and it could well get worse before it gets better but with team work and a seemingly new found dynamism, hopefully something may come out of this coalition.
yours optimistically
