Conservabal Demotives

I am so remarkably clever with my post titles. Let me muse on its imaginative elegance for a moment.... Yes. I should take Letwin's place for the production of future manifestos. 

Now that I've stopped tooting my rusty horn, let me also muse on this week's happenings in Westminster. So, we have a Hung Parliament - the first since 1974. The 'Clegg bounce' or 'Cleggmania' being reported all over various media outlets turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of Clegg crap, and Cameron managed to muster a larger number of seat gain than Thatcher did thirty years ago. However, she managed to win a majority, and it seems that we (I use the word 'we' because I am a member of the party and also because I want to feel involved and politically with it) just couldn't break the 326 mark. Gordon Brown has finally decided to take his leave, most likely since he saw this blog and decided my use of Sophie Ellis Bextor against his staying was far too smart even for him. Now, where does that leave us?

If we are to believe the news today, it would seem Labour's thirteen years of power are to come to an end and that a Conservative and Liberal Democrat - or 'LibCon' - coalition is almost certain. The Prime Minister is supposedly packing his bags, saying his goodbyes and will be off to chat to Her Majesty either tonight or tomorrow.
