The Lib Dems went for the coalition to give the appearance that they could run a country. It's just backfired however as one of their major policy's has been instantly changed.

There was an interview with Nick Clegg on the radio the other day, and he was being quizzed about why the sudden turnaround on student fee's, and for every excuse or answer he gave, the interview simply replied "but you knew that before, why have you changed your mind", and it went on for 4 or 5 answers, and Clegg couldn't give a legitimate reason why.

The reason I've heard him use frequently is that they have changed their mind because they were not elected to Government.

The voting system in this country meant that no party got a good enough majority to take power automatically. So the Conservatives, who 'won' the election in the logical sense through being voted for a lot more than the other main parties get to use the power the majority of the country wanted them to.

Clegg said that as the Libdems were not voted for in significant numbers, it really has no right to demand the policy's they trumpeted in their campaign as they clearly weren't what the majority of the country wanted.

Labour made an absolute mess of the country. I liken the situation under Labour to driving your car towards a cliff, the driver being Labour, the kids in the back being the population. It all seemed fine enough, the parents were in horrendous debts but the kids didn't notice as they had three PSPs and DSs each, Nike trainers and an Iphone 4 each. All the conservatives have done is stop that car as it was about to fly off the cliff.

The last election is the best possible situation for Labour. They had thoroughly messed it up, but were able to walk away quietly, without the election whitewash they deserved. The Conservative/Libdem coalition then inherits a horrendous situation where the only option is to make cuts. The ignorant public then notice the cuts and the ridiculous way they are blown out of all proportion by the media and votes Labour, still devoid of ideas, back in a landslide victory at the next election.

Think Camerons so good? Who did he model his self on, Tony of course, watch the clip it's good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYkGThMYmbk

I'll review his performance when it comes to the next election. I do however think he seems to be doing a good job at stabilising a country that could have ended up in a right mess.

That funny that, exactly what Blair said when he took over form the tories, things were left in a mess then, do you remember the boom bust years of the tories, if not it's on it's way back.

Exactly, the ironic thing about the last Labour government is the biggest gainers were the middle class professionals who owned their own property or were able to buy property in around 1997-2000, because they saw their houses shoot up in value and made hundreds of thousands of pounds of capital gains. You also saw people who had been to university and graduated in the late 1990s and early 2000s found an unprecedented amount of graduate opportunities and were able to get their careers up and running so that by the time the recession of 2008 hit, they were well established in their careers.

A lot of these people who have done quite well now parrot the Tory phrase that "Labour ruined the country" but if you ask them the question what period of their life did they see the biggest improvements in their financial circumstances then it's 99% certain that whether they admit it or not, the answer will be the decade when Blair was PM. They complain now about having their child benefit and tax credits removed or that VAT is going up and how its not fair, but a lot of people made huge gains in wealth in the Blair years through doing nothing, they just happened to be lucky enough to have owned property at the time it shot up in value.

You can't vote the coalition back in.

I would not be at all surprised if the next government is a Lab/Lib coalition.

Tax? Whats that?

believe its something the government take off the workers and waste it in many different ways,one being giving the work shy lazy so and so`s a hand out..

Alcohol, what's that?

You're spot on. I'm proud to be British but no desire to come back and live and work in the UK and lose a huge proportion of my earnings. Why would I effectively reduce the lifestyle of my kids to supplement a whole load of things I don't agree with.

Its sad to watch the decline of the UK in the worlds pecking order.

I think you are confusing Qatar with Saudi
