Having Your Cake And Eating Most Of It

 © Sam Oyelowo


A year and a half on from forming the coalition government the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties seem to have voters wondering who can take Britain forward and more importantly save us from the knock-on effect of Euro armageddon. In my opinion Cameron isn't doing a disastrous job. When he talks, people listen, which is a start. Many have put their class divisions aside to focus anxieties on the economies recovery. Saying that, current coalition rhetoric seems skewed in a tug of war government where Clegg is beaten down at first tongue slip of opposition to Tory-led policy. Dissafected Lib Dem voters must wonder how their beloved left wing alternative to mainstream politics became the whipping boy of their once fiercest rivals. Worst still, that boy has had to keep smiling - for the cameras at least. Its in effect like have the opposition party in power with no power. And Labour? Well asides Tessa Jowell running London 2012, it seems not many of the party are having things their way or being listened to at all. Whatever happened to the Reds. Bland Miliband where are you?
