Shirley Williams on the Coalition in the UK

Guardian: Has an excellent interview with Lady Shirley Williams, late of the Labour Party, part founder of the SDP, that become the Liberal Democrats. Lady Williams on the whole is supportive of the Coalition, but does have some reservations, the major being Trident. It is interesting to see how one of the founders of the SDP that become the Liberal Democrats sees this new Coalition Government, for some in the Liberal Democrats such as Lady Williams the idea of such a Coalition was never an option , but given the political circumstances Lady Williams is it can be argued giving the Coalition a chance, yes she has problems with the upgrade to Trident, but is still fighting in the House of Lords for Liberal Democrats ideas, that is good for the Liberal Democrats and excellent for the Coalition. A NOD of thanks to Lady Williams.
