Few could have watched the recent events in British politics transpire without feeling slight incredulity. From the Conservative's early campaign for earnest 'Change', to Labour's defeat and finally resulting in a new "co-operative" coalition government. In truth, the past week has been amazing, in terms of action and volatility. Was this really happening, I asked myself?
I was amazed to see how quickly the Tory government rattled together plans for a coalition deal with the Liberal Democrats. Well, I suppose it's hardly surprising, given that they couldn't operate without their support. But it does make you question the integrity of our democratic system here in the UK.
Now we Brits have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. David Cameron (our new Prime Minister) has reined in a new era of change, but who else thought that he and his deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg looked incredibly uncomfortable in their press conference on Wednesday? It almost seemed to be a play for the camera. Anyway, I hope that for the sake of this country and its people, they can come together and change things for the better.
