I think WE are gonna have an exciting election too. Now to see if the PRESIDENT gets re-elected. HRMMMMM Maybe a clean sweep would be a good thing. It is a given that the ones in their seats NOW are not doing anything.<br /><br />We are living in interesting times!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118106177725242820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-50788483954743592632010-05-21T01:40:28.184+01:002010-05-21T01:40:28.184+01:00We are watching things over here in Australia too....We are watching things over here in Australia too. With a Federal election due and a rising tide of support for The Greens, it is all becoming much more interesting. Enjoy your blog and will follow with interest.

I am glad they have decided to pull a coalition together and wish the media would just back off a bit and give it a bit of time to settle, which of course they won't.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-86524576152314243592010-05-14T00:22:58.355+01:002010-05-14T00:22:58.355+01:00I'm quite interested to discover what will hap...I'm quite interested to discover what will happen as the months (and years) pass.

Surely you din't think they would get enough votes to govern; it was always going to be a coalition wasn't it?<br /><br />In a funny sort of way I'm looking forward to budget cuts too - a bit like when you actually want to diet after you know you've put on a bit too much weight. I also don't want my kids to be paying tomorrow for what we consume today.<br /><br />I've been away from the blog a while but hope to back soonThe bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-76018847909448282292010-05-12T23:38:53.659+01:002010-05-12T23:38:53.659+01:00Thank you for your comments - and yes, I'm get...Thank you for your comments - and yes, I'm getting more excited by the minute. It finally seems that there is a Government which really wants to achieve something good and is REALLY prepared to put aside some differences to get there. It won't be without its problems but it looks like there is a real commitment to try and make it work. I think Nicky boy and Dave will have a ball together! I'd certainly rather share the responsibility of getting us out of our mess rather than have it all on just my shoulders alone. Two heads are better than one, after all.Carah Bodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429666157453439321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-7042966908992113512010-05-12T20:40:20.929+01:002010-05-12T20:40:20.929+01:00I also think it's rather marvellous - I've...I also think it's rather marvellous - I've been gripped by the whole thing.

It seems to me that there is more actual work done in parliament when there's a minority. Everyone has to cooperate and be on their toes.
