Re: UK Election
 

Loth as I am to say it, I have taken a shufty at the Coalition Programme launched today and there is far less in there that disgusts me than I originally thought there would be when I was crying into my beer last Monday.

There are still quite a few aspects that I disagree with entirely, but I think the LibDems have succeeded in filing off some of the Tories' sharper edges in a lot of areas.

It may not be the utter disaster I was predicting. And certainly in the Civil Liberties area they are on the ball. Good to see that they want to replace the HRA with something that still incorporates the ECHR. Frankly, the HRA has done little to protect us from over-intrusive government, ridiculous laws, the dismantling of habeas corpus and local councils spying on your dustbins anyway...

Re: UK Election
 

I was thinking exactly the same. Some very welcome measures (admittedly most coming from the Lib Dem influence, methinks). Fingers crossed for the AV referendum.

And if Cameron thought Blair had a tough time from his Labour backbenchers, he aint seen nuffink yet - his own lot will be wanting his head on a stick before the year's out!
