wooooh...Slow down some more

It all happened so fast…no wait it didn't! I must have nodded off!

One minute Brown was hanging out at No 10, and half an hour later, the staff was outside to welcome in Davo. For all the time it is taking for the ConDems to come to an agreement, we are now dizzy at their sudden stealth. Beware, we may be expecting this efficiency form the government at all times.

No sooner was he in, that he was out again, back to his home where he could spend one last night as a ‘normal’ man with his family, to awake in the morning with two new shiny police officers stationed outside his house and many more at the entrances to his road.

Most of the families near by slept like babies, except for the few that were up early with the gitters, eager to have their first glance at a Prime Minister, happy to snap a few photographs themselves of the media positions outside, before getting bored, and not to mention, late for work.

But Tories4Labour managed to get a snap of the Prime Ministers first journey to work in his trusty jag. Destination: Downy. Agenda? Who knows...

The Week After the Week Before

If you happened to be in Westminster the week following the election, all you would have encountered was speculation, and most definitely, confusion! This was clearly illustrated by the media strolling around, relying on the habits they previously learnt of the political big-names, and trying to anticipate the route of all the lovely new pink faces through the historic streets. As they rushed from College Green, to St Stevens Gate, to Portcullis House, to Downing Street, and all the headquarters in between, little information was being passes between them. This was not out of competition for the rival news agency, but that it just was not available. All the playing cards, well certainly those of the Lib Dems and the Tories, were being kept to their chest.

This is from the voice of experience, as one Torie4Labour supporter spent the week in Westminster trying to get the scoup on what our future held. They learnt that the extent of chasing was not the standard case, and frustrations were running high. Crowds were forming at intermittent periods, most notable around College Green, where the television crews had their bases. If something was going on, shouldn't they be the ones to know it? Aren’t those people they are interviewing important? Even though I don't have a clue who they are? But they two did not have a clue. All the tourists were happy snapping away glad they they managed to get a photograph of someone important being interviewed. Little did they know that all the big-wigs were tightly tucked away behind closed doors.

Hours were spent camped out on a location that was yet to be confirmed and met with extensive delays. Playing with the media is not the best way to start of your new government. Unless the tactic is to exhaust them so much that they no longer care? These folks will never tire, their jobs depends on a single photograph.

Please, give us a hint!!! Be open and honest - a good start to a new government that does not have a majority. You may even win a few more over...

Hung Out to Dry

Apparently there was an election but, well, you wouldn’t know it. As yet we still don’t have a new government and everyone who's anyone is preoccupied with cutting deals. However, it appears that the man with all the power is the one we'd written off, Mr. Clegg. But Cleggster isn't rushing this one, it's not like there's a country that needs running or anything. He's going to play the field, flirting with both main parties before settling down. One thing is for certain though, if a ConDem coalition forms our new government, it will do nothing to abate the incessant left leaning of our once beloved Tories.

And what of a LabDem coalition?, Labour might endure a leadership crisis now that Mr. Brown is bowing out and they are left with an absence of a strong willed leader who didn’t get suckered into popularity contests. It is a shame to see the end of Bully Brown and will difficult to say whether Tories4Labour will survive without his commanding position. All that remains for the true Tory is to hold onto our grassroots believe and push for someone up top to recognize that what the people want isn't found in the middle.
