Well, there we go.
Conservative David Camera-on is our new PM in our first coalition government since WWII.
We should take comfort from the fact that:
- the Conservatives were denied their outright majority (haha! Take that, scum-sucking Tory press!)
- Labour weren't obliterated as many predicted they would be. Under a new leader they have every chance of coming back stronger
- We can look forward to fixed 4-year Parliaments
- Lib Dems have (apparently) been given cabinet posts
- We have been promised a referendum on electoral reform - AV is a start, and people are more likely to vote for that than full PR.
- By the sound of it, Lib Dems have managed to bag some key concessions on tax and education
And if all that fails to convince, we can take solace in the words of the Bank of England governor, that the budgetary measures necessary to deal with the deficit will end up keeping the governing party "out of power for a whole generation".
We live in hope...
EDIT: Oh no's.... George 'Gideon' Osborne is confirmed as Chancellor?!!! Fuck that shit!
I'm off to get drunk...
