The days since the polls closed and the results transpired have surely proved far more exciting than the election itself: we have not seen the like of this for many a decade at least.
And this is good; it’s all good. Usually a change in party and Prime Minister happens so very quickly that the constitutional process actually gets missed by the masses. Far from what the likes of the Dailies Mail and Express would like to have you think, the deliberations of the last half-week have given an opportunity for the electorate of the country to scrutinise the political and constitutional process, to an extent whereby those of us who are both new to it, and inured to it, have gained an appreciation of it, that benefits us more knowledge about it – and in gaining that knowledge we, the masses, the public, call us what you like, gain power.
So, far from the past few days being a “Sham” or being “Sordid”, they are merely a drawn out feast of our democracy and it is quite right that such a feast should take its very natural course.
That natural course is now reaching its conclusion and, my head tells me, that the conclusion that is being reached is the logical one: a Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition.
This revelation is as difficult for me as it will be for those reading it and who share my staunch Progressive values.
