Can two public schoolboys really have any insight into the lives of the least well-off in society ? Recent reports tell us there has been no narrowing in the wealth gap in the last forty years !!!
I would also like to mention that under a genuinely fair PR voting system the Tories would not be leading the country ! It would be a centre-Left coalition - on votes cast - not the fiddle of MP numbers.
*I forgot to say yesterday that London is also run by a product of the 'public' school system......is this really the 21st century ?!
I look forward to seeing a female, Asian ex-hospital cleaner as Prime Minister ! Then I'll consider voting......

I feel sick to the core ...... and many Lib Dem supporters are clearly furious if the buzz on Twitter and Facebook is anything to go by.
I can't see this coalition lasting........
We must move to a GENUINE PR system !
I have been watching the pantomime with interest.
Good to hear from you !
I know some commentators have even called it a 'gay marriage', but we should give the chaps a chance.
A fair point.
It sure will be interesting to see how all this unfolds in reality! I just hope that you don't all suffer terribly in the interima nd afterwards...
We could always follow the NZ model, Sag ?!
Why do you say 'Centre-Left'?
Assuming the Lib-Dems are the centre you could claim 'Centre-Right' The Tories got more votes than Labour; especially in England.
I think a Labour and Lib-Dem pact would have been suicide - especially for the Lib-Dems - given the spread of votes across the UK and the fact that they would have been beholden to the SNP and the like.
I think there is an opportunity here.
I'm a Tory, in the main, and see this as a test for both parties.
For the Tories it will be a test in co-operation.
For the Lib-Dems it will be a test for consisitency.
As a very strong 'local party' they have tended to say one thing in one constituency and another in a different one. They've palyed a very different kind of politics partly through being ipermananet opposition.
National politics will make or break them.
I suspect, after a while, that they will be seen in much the same light as the Tories and Labour.
I think we should give them a chance.
I think there is a much stronger natural affinity between Labour and Lib Dems, and under a genuine PR system where votes actually count the make-up of this Government would be much more Left leaning.
I'm all in favour of giving them a chance though !
