A Debate. All, The Tory/Lib.Dem Coalition is faced with problems and has some radical/savage (delete adjective with which you do not agree) solutions. But they have also embraced a number of policy proposals which don't further those solutions and have the potential to cause much discusssion and brouhaha. Why have they done so? Is it as a way to distract the people from the more pressing problems, so that the Government can get on with implementing their real policies? Eg 1/ Alternative vote (AV). A Lib.Dem. manifesto item is to intoroduce proportional representation (PR), of which AV is a pale imitation. That they pressed the Tories to introduce at least a referendum, and at least for AV, not PR, is laudable. However, the vigour with which the Tories are opposing what will make very little difference to future governments surely means that they are neither for or against it, but in favour of a lot of noise, on an irrelevant subject. 2/ The royal wedding has just fallen into their laps. But with enormous imagination they have grasped a way of balloning its chattering quotient by floating, with no bill, not even a Green Paper, just an 'idea' with no time scale, a proposal to abolish the Rule of Royal Succession by Male Primogeniture. Two policies in search of relevance, both promoted by a Government beset by popular opposition, when they are unharried by Parliamentary Opposition. Two policies that for different reasons are guaranteed to fill the pages of the entire spectrum of the Press. Once again, they forget that they are the servants of the people not their masters. John And now, to oppose the proposition.............. |

I reckon that David Cameron's contraversial comments about multiculturalism and immigration were designed to distract people from the Health and Social Care bill. He knows everyone hates it because its a terrible idea, but wants to get privatisation in by the back door. |

I'm not sure it is distraction but a simple fact they have no idea what they are doing and have no real policies. They seem to be taking the phrase cast your net wide too literally and eventually something will go through or be approved by the voters. If Lansley's NHS reform plans are anything to go by, it is the coalition that is misguided, not the people. |
