Get on with it!

Ugh. It's going on a bit. So I shall too.

LibDems have still not made up their mind. LibDems and Tories can't agree, they are poles apart on beliefs. Yeah, a tempered Tory government would be a great thing and LibDems would have achieved a miracle if they got concessions towards their policies under Tory rule. But for an entire term, could a coalition between Tories and a party that the majority of voters presumably see as primarily Not Tory ever work? I don't see how.

Yet, a coalition of all those that lost the election is wrong, even if it does make a infinitely more palatable government. I don't often agree with David Blunkett, but I do on that.

Whatever happens, the Tories will want what they want, and the others will want what they want.

Letting the Tories form a minority government is fair, albeit vile, and then the parties have their usual voting power. Which after all, is the whole point of MPs and parties having seats and whatnot, each seat should represent a vote on issues in the Commons.

Simplistic, yes. Am simple.

Should a coalition go ahead, then at least two parties are in a position where they have to compromise their principles. Which means all who voted for them are being let down. Should the LibDems ever abstain on anything the Tories propose, they are not doing what they were voted in to do. Should the Tories make concessions to the LibDems, they are not doing what their voters believed them to do. If the Tory voters are opposed to PR and tax relief for the poor (which is hard to comprehend, but they did vote in the - presumed - knowledge of the policies) then they are being denied that by the very party they voted for.

It's not democracy, it's compromise all round and nobody getting what they wanted. Parties sticking to their beliefs and a fair vote (if such a thing does exist) is how it should be. The distribution of seats should mean that the Tories can't push through things the others would oppose. Should.

Naive, yes, everyone's for pretending it's not all corrupt.

I wish they'd just decide to do nothing.

For posterity, for the 18th time, the leader of the Labour Party? DavEd Milliballs.

Yeah. I know.

So I have days when I have lots on my mind, when there is lots I could say, and I wouldn't utter a word.

Frivolous nonsense.

Like now. And so, in a "clever" keeping of a promise to myself, I'm hiding in the past.

Today my mind is filled with little more than a full and frank analysis of all the men who have entered my consciousness today. When I say full and frank, it's more of a yay/nay thing.

Disturbingly it seems to be mostly
Yay. Including Kevin Bacon, who I have seen on screen many's a time and never once thought mmm. But tonight he had a gee tar. And gee tars are very sexy.

David Cameron is a definite nay, and indeed so is Gordon Brown. And William Hague, and Peter Mandelsohn, and David Miliband (no brain: nay, really), and Ed Balls and all of the other vile looking politicians. I've always had a thing for the LibDems. I have by the way, I distinctly remember wearing an SDP Liberal Democrat rosette to school in the 1987 election. And I definitely wouldn't yay to David Steel, its not all based on aesthetics.

I remind myself of a broken record sometimes. It's the circular grooves.

Huh? Yeah? So what! Oh, right, it's ok, nobody reads these ones. Really.
