Let's face it so few people will vote for bought and paid for politicians in the forthcoming May election we are definitely in for another hung parliament. In fact I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no party in the UK will ever win an outright election victory again. Those rash days of people being fooled by bourgeois politicians are well and truly over.
The biggest worry about a hung parliament, however, is a Labour/Tory coalition which given the dire state of British politics is a distinct possibility. I quote from the World Socialist Web Site:-
Labour MP Gisela Stuart has backed a possible Tory/Labour coalition, which would be the first since the Second World War. In the event of a hung parliament, “I think you should not dismiss the possibility of a grand coalition in terms of regrouping of the main parties,” she told the Financial Times.
Ian Birrell, former speechwriter to Cameron, also suggested such an outcome. Writing in the Guardian in January, he revealed that it was one of a number of parliamentary combinations under consideration.
Faced with the impracticalities of a Tory or Labour-led minority government, he wrote, “a government of national unity” between the two could be just what the “country needs to reboot its anachronistic political system.”
If this appalling scenario were to happen it would be parliament versus the people and the people will prevail.
