I’m currently on holiday and so spending quite a lot of time going in and out of churches. (What else do you think I would do on holiday?)
In one of the many churches I’ve visited, I caught sight of this.
Thoughts?

All very well saying Labour have “lost their mandate to govern” when he’s not actually gained one either…
I guess a hung parliament has been most likely for the past few weeks, much as one might wish for a happier colour. I’ll bear the rest of your predictions in mind for later though 🙂

Here in Canada we’ve had a minority government for five years now, with little sign of it falling. The Conservative PM is pretty bland, but the Liberals have the least inspiring leader you could imagine and the NDP are lead by a nutter. (And the Bloc isn’t national.) The opposition parties don’t want to trigger an election, because they fear that the voters would blame them for having to trudge to the polls. That and they’re even less popular than our lackluster PM.
I think a minority government works, actually, simply because the governing party has to seek consensus. (And, in our case, the opposition parties have to as well.) Then again, I’m from the States where the President needs Congress and the voters often elect them from opposite parties.

Politics is back on Campus
I’m astonished to be reporting the beginning of the end of apathy. It would appear that politics is back on campus. Two weeks ago I noticed a pro-Palestinian stall in the University of Stirling. Then there was a motion within the student association on the same issue. Then on Tuesday evening I went to hear…
