As I read my Times this morning I suddenly realised that the establishment of this country has suddenly woken up to the fact that there actually be real political change.   We have the current Home Secretary making eyes towards the Lib Dems and columnist and leader writers thundering that now is not the time for ‘weak’ government i.e. a hung parliament but rather strong government i.e. one party without a popular mandate but majority of MPs.   I suspect this was what was said at the end of the second world war just before Winston Churchill was voted out of power.   They all seem to miss the point.  What this country needs in a complete political overall and a hung parliament is the necessary first step towards this.   By the way the next debate will become very interesting as both Labour and Conservatives try and come up with ever so cleaver ways of rubbishing the Lib Dems and their policies as if this was what it is all about.   It is not.  It is about changing the way that we govern ourselves – the old ways are gone and the sooner the political classes realise this the better it will be for all concerned.
