I do believe that it is a portent of happenings in the United States.
The conservative arm of American politics from all parties will be forced by circumstances to temporarily adopt some normally some leftist liberal ideas but these ideas will be tempered with conservative common sense to diminish long term damage to the economy. As we are all aware, at times the cure can be quite distasteful but it must be done to eliminate the disease.
