Oh, poo, indeed …
I’ve got to admit, I’m quietly sitting indoors at the moment, with the BBC News Channel on, in the background.
And, as a liberal voter, I’ve got to be honest, I’m disappointed.
As, as I write, David Cameron, MP, has been to visit Her Majesty, the Queen, and been officially confirmed as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury.
Mr Cameron’s just got to the new office, and is given the big speech.
This is probably where we get to find out …
Hmmm …
Yep, Cameron’s just announced that a) he’s accepted the job of PM, and b) the Tories have announced a formal coalition with the Liberal-Democrats.
And as a Liberal voter, I can’t help but feel vaguely betrayed by Nick Clegg, there.
Betrayed and vaguely sick.
I’ll be honest, I’m out of work, at the moment, so Nick Clegg on his own, with the Liberal Democrat’s promise of lowering the tax threshold for poorer people to £10, 000, very interesting.
I am hoping that that one goes through, as well as the referendum on the Alternative Vote system.
But with no details, beyond the coalition announced … ?
Cabinet seats, aside, I’m blowed if I know what’ll be happening …
And that scares, alarms and sickens me.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
