Well not the result I was hoping for
I'm not a big fan for the SNP or Tories but they've played a blinder and fair play to them. Independence for Scotland firmly back on the agenda that's been reported? I think not for the mo' - DC said he didn't want to see the Union break up "on his watch" so he's unlikely to do so in the next five years. Scottish politics has seen a massive re-alignment but the economics has stayed the same and so have the arguments. How many voted SNP for anti - austerity rather than Independence Undoubtedly though there are many parts of the UK where government from Westminster is virtually an irrelevance. The Tories - a proud track record of delivery? Here's some for starters:
Yes the deficit is important but at what cost? I can tell you - at the cost of a fairer and more equitable society and the prospect of opportunity for all a distant goal for most..... |

Issues with Italy and Germany 1929-33 are more to do with rubbish politicians rather than the PR system. It works fine if politicians co-operate and work together. There can be big problems when they don't, but you can have problems in majority governments when those in the same party don't pull together. I don't see why we would be forever stuck with just three main parties, I think this election has shown the opposite to be true - but the unfair and unrepresentative current voting system is not as democratic as is needed in light of the new split of UK votes.

Think twice before you cut isn't bad advice either. Only time will tell I guess. |
