Come on England !

Today on the evening news the cameras were taken into the Cabinet Room, to show the Con Dem coalition government at work. In the last couple of days I've pondered on how the Lib Dems might get round certain policy differences with the masters/partners. Now I know, they'll abstain, its seems they are set to abstain on the issue of new nuclear power stations. How principled !

There's talk of a proposal to increase the majority needed for a vote of confidence motion to 55%, I'm sure that this will cause a stir, so more of that in the days ahead. John Greenwood had an interesting letter published in the Times explaining that fixed term parliaments would prevent new Prime Ministers from seeking a fresh mandate, a point well made. Needless to say the Times failed to publish my letter on the flaws in the analysis regarding the Alternative Vote, which if introduced would seriously hinder the chances of small parties.

Away from politics England have reached the final of the Twenty 20 World Cup a great achievement, although sadly not covered by free to view TV. Shops are already full of world cup materials from flags to underwear , but this is the football tournament that doesn't start for a month. Meanwhile in darts, Phil Taylor has gone through the whole Premier League season undefeated, another fine achievement from "The Power"
