Tories To Form British Government

Well, Gordon Brown is out and David Cameron is in--but he'll have Nick Clegg to thank for it, and the coalition government with the Liberal Democrats is not going to be easy to pull off. I honestly don't see this as a durable governing option--there will be another election much earlier than the five year term this government has earned....

  2. The Tories have to work hand in hand with the Lib Dems though it would really be difficult. Hopefully, they will focus on what they can agree on such as the local control of schools, budget cuts, fairer taxes, electoral reform, and a rollback of the surveillance state and set aside for the mean time their differences. If they can do this, it might take them 5 years. If not, they might just last two years or less.

  3. I love how Gordon Brown emerges from a meeting with the Queen and promptly resigns, then no sooner is Cameron pictured waving outside of 10 Downing Street. Was Brown even given time to pack and steal some flatware?

    Did Brown's staff have time to remove the W keys from all the computers?
