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

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?)

Yup, I agree about the general perception - and all the financial commentators talked about how the markets generally strengthened as soon as the Lib Dem Tory coalition was finalised, because it was seen as being much more stable than a Lib Lab one.
