Analytics makes interesting reading this morning... Hello to all my blog's new readers! It feels very strange being part of a party of government. It's not something I thought I would have to get used to anything soon. I think I have an inkling of what Lady Mark's feeling's were when he said
Having slept on it, my feelings on the policy breakdown pretty much chime with Debi's (also YAY SHE JOINED UP!!!). Cautious optimism is the watchword. I don't trust the Tories, and I worry that science/museums/other stuff I care about will be cut. I'm also worried about welfare reform. But really, to say that we came third in the election, to see so much of our manifesto adopted is amazing.
I've managed to get a shift swap for Sunday (thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
burlesque_bunny, you are awesome and I totally owe you one), so hopefully I will be able to attend the special conference. Still waiting on the full details of the coalition agreement, and the details of who has got what job, but I think that's actually less important than the policy. As long as the people in cabinet are competent, that's what matters. Somebody tweeted last night that Vince Cable is going to be Blackadder to Osbourne's Prince Regent, and I think that's aposite (if anyone can remember who, I'd be grateful for a crediting link in the comments, btw) but Huhne in environment, and Clegg as DPM... This is good. Could do with more roles for our women - whither Lynne Featherstone, Jo Swinson and Sarah Teather? - but again, mustn't expect too much.
All in all though?
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life... and I'm feelin' good.
I've always been anti-establishment, and now I'm married to it!I mean... I have TOUCHED the Deputy Prime Minister! I wonder if I am now immune from Scrofula...
