It also strikes me that the leading lights of all the main parties are fully signed up members of the sniggering class, perhaps it has something to do with the inherited wealth they believe makes them so superior and so much better than anyone else.<br /><br />As for coalitions being the tail that wags the dog, it has ever been thus. The degree of wagging the majority party is prepared to accommodate is directly proportional to its lust for power. In Cameron's case this was obviously all-consuming, given the influence allowed the LibDems, indeed I think he would have simply accepted the LibDem manifesto in its entirety had he been pressed, arguing no doubt that it was all Tory policy anyway.PeterCharlesnoreply@blogger.com
