    Marek my old socialist mucker, "Their joint election manifesto's and pledges lie in shreds only days after the countless promises were made to the electorate and are now broken on day 1 of a new dawn and a supposedly new political era."

    Please enlighten me as to how this is any diiferent to the beginning of the Blair/Brown disaster of 1997? Before you answer, I strongly and respectfully suggest reference to the 1997 Labour Party GE Manifesto, available online, may be an eye-opener.

    With regard to PR, I'd be surprised if either the Blues or Reds stood up for it at a referendum. And why would they? This election would have ended in a hung parliament under PR, the only difference would have been LibDems getting a few more seats. If it ain't broke, and I don't think it is, don't fix it. If there is one thing guaranteed after a GE it is that the losing parties will moan about the system, press, tv, weather, Joan Rivers' hairstyle etc. I say, "in one ear and out the other". It's just sour grapes.

    As for the alliance, well, we shall have to see how that works, but even very senior Labour folks accept they were soundly rejected by the voters and should stand aside. It was only Gordie desperately trying to hang on to power that caused this thing to drag on until even he couldn't avoid the inevitable. He and his team have been overwhelmigly rejected by the British public, not everyone of course, but enough to make it clear to all but Gordie and those wearing red tinted glasss.

    Very tough times ahead as the new regime tries to sort out yet another socialist economic mess, again.
