100 Days of UK Coalition

BBC News: Reviews the first hundred days of the UK Coalition between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats, as the article notes the big test will come with the public spending cuts in October. In essence folks, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats are tied together, the Liberal Democrats can not cut and run, it would be political suicide, also Nick Clegg would have to fall on his sword for any deal between the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party. The public spending cuts will be tough folks, the Liberal Democrats will face a new reaction, being hated, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party have faced that over the years, the Liberal Democrats have not been in power since 1922, thus they have not had to make tough decisions, thus if the Liberal Democrats want to form a majority Government one day they will have to tough it through and show they are a serious political party, it could be long five years for the Coalition folks, it could either make the Liberal Democrats the successor to New Labour or they could be swallowed by the Conservative Party.
