In 20 years time we will look back on this day as the day in
which the coalition started to break down. When the deputy prime minister stands in front
of a group of journalists and says that the Conservatives “broke the coalition
contract” and that they can’t “pick and chose” what they want from the collation
agreement, the government starts down a road which will ultimately lead to its
destruction.
About fucking time. Today is a day for people all across the
political spectrum to celebrate. No one voted for the coalition and frankly, no
one likes it. For Conservatives it’s not right wing enough and doesn’t go far
enough in budget cuts and public sector saving. For Liberal Democrats it’s too
right wing and at points goes too far in its budget cuts. And for Labour
supporters, it’s a government of liars and crooks. In the past two years I have
never met anyone who has said “Oh yeah, I like the coalition, they are doing a
great job”, and this is why the coalition must dissolve, and will dissolve before
2015. You cannot create a government that lacks public support, create policies
that lack public support and then have the leader of one of the coalition parties
saying that the coalition agreement was “broke” and expect the government to
continue for another three years.
So let us remember this day as the start of the end. The day
on one of the most unpopular UK governments since the great reform act ,
started to crumble. Today is a day in which we are reminded that politicians
will only do things they do not agree with for so long without getting some
sort of reward. The day is in sight in which the marriage between Cameron and
Clegg will be annulled.
