Blue sun, orange sky... something is not right

[steepholm]

So, should I never vote Lib Dem again because they threw in their lot with the Tories? Or never vote Labour again because they threw their toys out of the pram and chose opposition rather than a progressive coalition?

I'm rapidly ceasing to care, and wishing I'd stuck to my first best instincts and voted Green.

(Either way, I don't really share the disgust that many seem to feel at the sight of the various minority parties - i.e. all of them - negotiating their way to some kind of settlement behind closed doors. What else were they supposed to do?)

I felt a brief spasm of disgust, yesterday afternoon, at the way Nick Clegg was playing the field- but, really, as you say, what else was he supposed to do? And he's won himself a cabinet seat and the chance that at least some of his party's policies will be implemented- which is more than any third party politician has achieved in my lifetime- so all power to his elbow!

Quite. What was strange, though, was the sight of all three parties essentially conspiring to put David Cameron in number 10. That I didn't expect!
