At last it seems that everything has now been sorted out in relation to the next government! Now that the dust has settled, and Gordon Brown has resigned with immediate effect, David Cameron is the new Prime Minister and Nick Clegg is his Deputy.
Whilst some of the pundits have poured scorn on such an arrangement (prior to it actually happening), I can see some positives in it.
The first thing seems to be that the more extreme policies of both parties have had to be jetisoned so that some form of working agreement could be reached.
Secondly a working coalition means that the Conservatives and Lib-Dems will have to co-operate more, rather than run on the old lines of "everyone follows the party line."
There are those who would argue that a coalition means the party policies are watered down, but if this means rejecting some of the more extreme policies I see this as no mean thing!
Could we be heading towards a new.co-operative and more sensible era?
Now all that remains is for the Labour Party to elect a new leader.
One of the Milliband Brothers? Alan Johnson? Ed Balls? Any more names to drop in the hat?
As my fellow blogger "Wife in the North" would probably say -what about a woman?
