    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.

  • Top Up Fees

    I find it hard to imagine that I would have gone to university at all under the system of fees and grants which the government managed to get approved last night. They are pawning the skills of the country’s young people. The debt, debt, debt culture is bad for individuals just as it is bad…

  • Sermon – 25/1/04

    Jesus took hold of the scroll ? a Hebrew scroll. And every eye was on him as he unrolled them and read from them. He managed to find in them the news of salvation. News that referred to himself. He read to the people from the words which were their own. His sermon was short.…

  • The Weather Experience

    Someone has posted a comment asking what the weather thingy was in Tate Modern and why I thought it was holy.  The picture might help a bit. Tate Modern's main hall is cathedral size and of course, sits just opposite St Paul's Cathedral, connected by the new wonderful Millenium Bridge. Tate Modern is free to…
