Coalition

I think this is such an opportunity for coalition; using people from all the parties, putting them in places appropriate to their skills eg Vince Cable as Chancellor. I think the nation has spoken; all of the politicians should forget party dictates & work in the national interest genuinely; no one party has been given a mandate. People do not accept the history or fully agree with all the policies in every manifesto- so we have voted in recognition of some beliefs/courses of action of each party. Other countries eg Germany & Israel operate coalition government.

David Cameron is not going to play the game- he is going to Con the LibDems & sell them down the river;is he listening to the nation? If the LibDems get nothing out of this position of 'power' for a future 3 party system , they & we need proportional representation; it can be done with a geographical allocation.

Exciting times!

Did I tell you I have temporarily shelved 'Cold Mountain' in favour of Vanora Bennett's 'Portrait of an Unknown Woman'?

The food at Jesmond Dene House has improved( the lunch offer is excellent); Zizzi's special offer (look on line) is also worth while. Mmmm!
