Well, fuck. So Nick Clegg jumped into bed with the Tories and David Cameron is our new PM. (I realise that the deal with the Lib Dems isn't official yet, but Cameron is becoming Prime Minister AS I SPEAK TYPE.) Ugh, I am predictably less than thrilled. I think, though, that really all roads - a minority Tory government, a Lib/Lab coalition, or the Lib/Con coalition we've got - lead to the same thing: another election in a year or so, probably with a Tory majority.

At least for the time being we have some Lib Dems in government. I just hope they stick to their principles.

For the record: I know everyone's tired of Labour and no one likes Gordon Brown or whatever, but I think they've done some AWESOME things in the last thirteen years.

I read something the other day that actually summed up a load of things Labour have done in the last 13 years, most of which I now take absolutely for granted and couldn't imagine life without. :)

It's just a case of sitting back and seeing what happens. I really hope some sort of electoral reform happens though, not that I trust Cameron that much, either.

Absolutely, they've done a lot of great things. I think it's easy to forget that in light of the few big mistakes (like the war) and the economy and whatever, but they really have made a great difference.
