UK Parliament officially ConDem(ned)

The 2010 General Election will be remembered for generations for a great deal of non-issues, none as great as the result. Nick Clegg, and his hapless Liberal Democrat buddies, have been successfull in negotiating the first Government that can be ConDemned before Parliament sits!

He promised a new Politics! He promised reform in voting! He publically opposed the values of the 'old Parties', as did he condemn Labour to the scrap-heap before the Electorate had spoken.

It was clear, from the offset, that Nick Clegg would not work with Gordon Brown or Labour; as it was clear that his father was prominantly involved with the Conservatives!

The new Government will be a ConDem coalition, however I now ask where Nick Clegg's true alliegences have been over the years. And now I propose this view, maybe its not a ConDem Government, and is in fact really a...

Dem-Con!


As exposed earlier this year, Nick Clegg was a member of the Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA) for at least a year, according to this Conservative Blog. And CUCA have re-invited Nick Clegg, to rejoin with a discounted Lifetime Membership.


Have the 7 Million Liberal Democrat voters been conned into voting against a Conservative government, whereas the intention was to reach a Coalition from the offset? That may never be known, however it is highly questionable how the Lib Dems and Tories could reach such a comprehensive arrangement so quickly after the Election, considering the difficulties that are involved!

FTPT Error 404: Government not Found!

Saturday the 8th May 2010 was indeed an interesting day regards the negotiations for the new Westminster Government.

Nick Clegg was delighted to be interupted by a Protest for the very same Policy that lies at the Heart of Liberal Democrat Party, Proportional Representation. After about 30 minutes, Nick Clegg addressed the Protesters, saying:

"I take your petition in the spirit I am sure you meant to deliver it to me. In the spirit of change. Of real change in the Politics of this Country.

In return, I would ask you to do what you're doing so well here today in Smith Square. In every single street, in every single community in our Country. To continue your campaign; your campaign for a different better, new Politics!"

Within hours, the 20'000 Petition, hosted at the Take Back Parliament Campaign Website, ballooned to a staggering 35'000 signatures! And thousands signed up for further demonstrations on the 15th and 22nd May.

Also, twitter seen quickly a few related trends, most notably the #takeitback trend, which was in the top 10 UK trends for a considerable time.

This has evolved, and now a common tweet is:

"#FPTP error 404: Government not found. Reset your voting system to proportional representation & try again #takeitback #dontdoitnick #ge2010"

On a more serious note, a second, that topped the trends yesterday, was a call to sack Kay Burley, Reporter for SKY NEWS, after she berated one of the Protesters serverly!

In response to this report, Kay Burley was the target, justifiably, for a 'mini' protest:

Kay Burley's interview with the Protester was indeed out of order! And reflects the influence that Media Empires try to have on the Politics of the UK. Personally, I can't see this one going away any time soon, and possibly, as SKY NEWS have proven to be out of touch with their Audience, I wait to see if any backlash will affect the number of Subscribers to the Broadcaster.
