.. for when the coalition parts its way in mid-2013 or early 2014 so the LibDems and Conservatives can ensure distinct separate identities when they fight a 2015 general election.
Next July there will be another Cabinet reshuffle to forge the team that will lead the Conservatives into the general election. It may be in conjunction with the 'split' or in preparation for it.
Expect Liam Fox to return. Cameron highly rates Liam and he needs to build bridges with the Eurosceptics (where Cameron's own heart lays) due to his needing to 'cuddle up' to the LimpDems and water down his gut feelings.
Cameron is also going to strengthen his No10 policy unit with the kind of 'Thatcherite' team that ideally we need in government now.
A step in the right direction not only for the Conservatives but also for the country.
Cameron still has a plan.......to win in 2015 with the LibDems tarnished with the reality of being in government and Labour still discredited led by a 'boy'....
I can't wait for the election debates......

Barryw
In the real world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
the next general election will throw up no party getting overall control, the lib dems will be trashed as you say and rightly so there will be a lot of chatting betweenn the parties, but vince well he may be one of the few survivors in the next parliament
but it will be one of a very few, probably there lowest ever.
At the same time the mouse looks so unrealiable, and not trusted

A thought occurred...

Howard - what we need is the best thing for the country and that was and is a strong majority for a right of centre Conservative Party with the political will to take the difficult decisions to get us out of the mess.
More of what we had was and is not enough, Labour would just take us deeper and deeper into trouble. A coalition with the LibDems simply does not create a government strong enough to act on what is really needed.

Barry you are beginning to resemble the fellow from the old wishing-well joke who shouts, "I did not ask for a 9 inch Pianist!!"

Merely stating the facts Tom.
The last period of Labour government left us in a greater mess than ever and it was entirely down to their mistakes. Better management of the economy would have had us placed in a much stronger position at the start of the slowdown to deal with the global/Eurozone aspects of the crisis. The last thing we need is a return to those clowns repeating the same mistakes they always make driving us deeper into a hole.
We are recovering but too slowly thanks to the pressure from the Limpdems standing in the way of what needs to be done.

Barry we are not recovering. Britain's economy is sinking further, and to date the Government is not doing anything to bring about recovery.
The Government's localism plans have come to nothing as yet.
Things are only getting worse. If there were an Election tomorrow, your party would be thrashed. They need to get their act in order, and pretty smartly.

Alexander.
I am afraid you are wrong and BarryW is right.
This government is achieving some of its goals and some people are now, in a much stronger position and their position will get even stronger if they are allowed to continue.
You are right though, that this government is doing no better than any others before them, to get us, the country, not the few, out of this mess.

Gary, if Barry's party goes on like that, they'll be rewarded accordingly by the Public.
The LibDems and Labour are speaking of social democracy, and are massing up their regiments on this front.
The Conservatives had been talking of Big Society and We're-All-In-It-Together, and of Localism, but have not achieved anything in this respect, except Eric Pickles, who prevented one man from dictating to a whole community that they are not allowed to say prayers any more.
The only right thing the Tories have done is to reduce arms spending.
They could still achieve good results, but it's about time they stopped kicking Prosperity into the long grass and inflicting the Ice Age on a Nation!

That said, then there's Vic's UKIP which went from 8% to 6%, so clearly nothing interesting there to present to the Populace at large.

Is this what the party is feeding down to the door knockers?
build bridges with the Eurosceptics (where Cameron's own heart lays) due to his needing to 'cuddle up' to the LimpDems and water down his gut feelings.
Total delusion,
The public see Cameron as a Blair type politician this is why they never got a majority in the first place.
The next election will see the liberal voters go over to labour.
The conservatives will be trashed as a party of the rich, they haven't hovered up the lost labour parties, working mans votes ( or the plebs ) to put in there terms.
Time is running out for the conservative party, the country is changing it's Cultural political views
The older voters won't be around to vote conservative.
The labor parties plan to kill of the British with mass immigration, will come to pass .

Keith B is right.
Ed Miliband is about to announce officially at the Labour party conference that Labour made a big mistake in government on immigration, that their new policies will be very much different.
There won't be a return to Blairism, and social democracy is what the Labour leadership are working on. Once Labour has banned the spectre of more mass immigration, they stand to attract masses of votes from all sectors of British Society.
The LibDems are inevitably going the same road as Labour, and we can expect an imminent rupture in the Coalition, and a Labour/LibDem alliance, possibly with the agreement that they'll not compete in constituencies with opposing candidates, but share the seats, for example on a 75%-25% basis.
Then the Tories would be utterly thrashed at the next General Election, and would become a weak opposition too, with hundreds of seats less.
Unless the Conservative party makes a significant decision soon to allow our Country to prosper, they will be out with no mercy.
