silver_sunSo a Tory government again, lucky us :(
Only is not really a Tory government, not entirely. I expect that the Lib-Dems will agree to the coilition - after all this is their first shot at actually having any seats in the cabinet in something like 75 years.
Having listened to the Cameron's first speach as PM it certainly sounds like he's picking up some of the Lib-Dems major policies.
The nobody pays tax policy on earning below £10,000pa will, providing they don't massively increase taxation elsewhere, actually make minimum wage something like more liveable.
For a minimum wage job of 37 h/pw it means nearly £1000 in the bank rather than gone in tax, and that can only be a good thing.
All I'm hoping for now is for the LibDems to prevent some of the more 'do not want' policies of the Tories.
I know there are people saying that the LibDems shouldn't go into coilition, that if they do they are selling those that voted for them out. I say that if they can do more good working from the inside government than they can as second place opposition then they should go for it; whether they sell us out is dependent on there actions in power, give them a chance to show us what they can do.
I hope thry don't disappoint us.
