Is it just me or are we about to be stitched up by a 'deal done behind closed doors' between the minority and losing 'Liberal' party and either the Tories, or the defeated Labour party?
So much for a 'New Politics', we now have a form of kerb crawling from the Tories and Labour leaders ...... rolling down their windscreens, banging on the car doors, shouting out words of encouragement "Hey Niki baby. Come over here darlin, get into into the back seat you strumpet, Daddies got an electoral mandate for you play with!"
What's so disheartening about this is that a very small party is demonstrating exactly why the Proportional Representation system that the Liberals are so desperate for is such a disaster..... because this is exactly what would happen after every election for ever once they get their PR in place.
Except that we know that it would be a permanent 'anti Tory' (aka anti right wing, 'conservative') alliance of Labour and its Liberal Party jockey for eternity ..... how is that more 'democratic'?
Come Monday we face financial meltdown, but no deal if the Liberals will only horse trade the destruction of all right wing parties as the cost of stability...... if the Liberals are prepared to act responsibly and cooperate on other areas where we need strong government, then they would be acting as they said PR would work and advance their cause, but blackmailing us into making them the permanent power brokers of the UK just shows why so many of us fear PR.
