  I think the Con-Dems will struggle on with increasing friction and fall out between them until the next election - i.e. 4.5 years from now at which time it is likely the Lid Dems will be given a truly sound kicking by the electorate for selling out their principles.
  
  The Tories will then squeek home with a narrow majority over Labour though they will struggle through a second term due to this and most likely lose the following election. Even if they manage to turn round the fiscal situation too many people will not forget or forgive the harshness of the austerity measures and the drastic impact they will have had on the vast majority of working and middle class people.
  
  Alexander, given the overall paucity of language skills amongst British workers we were never going to see a significant flow of British workers to the continent outside of the Finance Sector which at the higher levels and more international parts uses English as its day to day business language.
  
  Sadly the last Labour administration screwed up and significantly increased public sector jobs during its tenure, despite the clear signs that these jobs were unsupportable and unjustifiable in the longer term, particularly once the fiscal crisis started to unfold. The current administration is just attempting to correct that (and many other) error. I struggle to see how we get out from under the debt mountain the country has without some seriously radical measures, of course some of those jobs could be saved if the unions and employers are prepared to talk about things like job sharing, reduced hours, pay freezes etc.
