Good Advice from Alastair Campbell on Coalition

Alastair Campbell Blog: Never thought this blog would agree with AC but he is right on the money when it comes to the future of the Coalition, AC states the following on the Coalition , “ .. should be warned that the public will tire of the soap operatic emotionalism very quickly..”. Thus my previous argument that the Lib Dems should embrace the Conservative Agenda, the North of England is over for them, but they have to keep their power base in the South, so far Ed Miliband has failed to get the same support in the South that Tony Blair gained pre the 1997 election. Also without Scottish MPs the Labour Party will never form a majority Government in England, thus Ed Miliband has a War on two fronts, he has break in to Southern England and build up the Labour Party in Scotland, also form alliances with the Lib Dems and the Conservative Party to smash the hoped SNP win in a Independence Referendum. Thus if the Coalition is united it can destroy Labour while it is trying to rebuild, any political games will work for Labour. The Coalition PM David Cameron has to enforce Cabinet responsibility on Lib Dems, its for the good of the Coalition and the Lib Dems.

ObamaCare/RomneyCare

The New York Times: Reports that Mitt Romney the former Governor of Massachusetts will give a speech on his health care reform while Governor of Massachusetts, the reform is very much like ObamaCare. Thus Governor Romney has a problem, he has a simple choice, either say he was wrong and will if elected President repeal ObamaCare. If Romney tries to defend Romney Care but argue that the US Federal Government should not have the same policy he is a political dodo in the Republican field. The Tea Party movement in the Republican nominating process are not going to nominate a Obama light candidate, also it would be easy for POTUS to ask why Massachusetts should have the benefit of health care reform and not the rest of the nation. In politics sometimes you can run from your past, but one has to say Romney has a 4/10 chance of winning the Republican nomination, in less he can turn around the health issue, but that’s not the only problem. In his past Campaigns Romney has disavowed the Reagan/Bush years, that will not go down well with Republican voters, Romney in many respects has blown his chances even before he started, Romney wll not be the Republican nominee.

Anniversary of the UK Coalition Government

Guardian: Reports that Coalition PM David Cameron has stated that he expects the political parties in the Coalition to become more defined and for more arguments, but wants to keep the Coalition in till the expected next General Election in 2015. As the President Obama said to the Republicans, elections have consequences, the failure of the AV referendum and the loss of hundreds of local Councillors was a major political shock for the Liberal Democrat Leadership. Thus the argument by the left of the Party that it has to define itself as counter the Conservative Party, this lobby group wants the Lib Dems to be lap dogs for Labour, it is also bad political advice, the Lib Dems would look like they want to be in Government but also in Opposition, this kind of posture is loathed by the UK voter. The great leaders, stood their ground and fought their battles, from David Lloyd George as UK PM in World War One, Winston Churchill as the symbol of the nation during World War Two, and Lady Thatcher over retaking the Falklands Islands. The Liberal Democrats if they want to prosper should want to own the Coalition Government as much as the Conservative Party, take a stand and fight, if Lib Dems look weak and posturing for the sake of posturing they will be destroyed in 2015.

One RULE for the Establishment = The Voter Jail Time

BBC News: Reports that the ex Liberal Democrat Cabinet Minister David Laws has been found guilty of breaking six House of Commons rules when it comes to his expenses, but the Coalition hopes he will return to Government. Lets be clear Mr Laws is one of the most ablest men in the House of Commons, and he was a great lost to the Coalition Government when he was forced to resign due to his expenses. But if he does return to Government it should shame the Coalition, if any one of the general public was found to have broken such rules when it comes to welfare claims would be a suspended sentence at the Crown Court time. The Coalition Government should send a clear message, there is not one rule for the well connected and another for the great unwashed. This is a matter for right and wrong folks, politicians are not different from US.
