Newspaper panic. Liam Send a noteboard - 11/05/2010 08:44:11 PM
Granted, Belgium is the other extreme, but before a week has passed, a coalition government will be in place, when coalitions are so alien to the country and it's far from a natural alliance? Amazing.


My impression is that they are panicking, because the perception is that a new government has to be in place NOW. Because that is how it has always been. They are not taking the time to work it out properly.


I don't know if the politicians know any better themselves, but the way the papers have been going on, every day that we don't have a "strong government" is another day that the pound will die a horrible horrible death.

Which seems a little odd to me, it's not like society crumbles during the summer months when there's no parliament.
