At least the good thing, perhaps the ONLY good thing, about a Tory government is that they’re pledged to scrap identity cards, an expensive oppressive fripperie that nobody wants and everyone will resent having to pay for. Only Labour wanted to go ahead with this mad scheme despite popular opposition. And perhaps the Libs will force through some sort of electoral reform - it’s crazy that their total vote only got them fifty-seven MP’s, compared to what a similar amount of votes earned for the tories and NuLab.
But those of us who remember the Thatcher years will not be happy bunnies tonight. How long before Cameron inflicts the same amount of needless destruction to placate the Thatcherites in his party - there are still an awful lot of them!
