But May's referendum on electoral reform, which crushingly rejected AV (to the delight of the Conservatives and the despair of their coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats), has had greater political reverberations than many foresaw. Increasingly dire economic circumstances may bind the coalition together. If by mid-parliament growth is still slow (or worse) and deficit-reduction behind schedule, the political disruption wrought by a breakdown of the coalition would hardly soothe financial markets. The more benign the economic climate, the freer the two parties would feel to go their separate ways. Politicians tend to overestimate how much public opinion, once formed, can be moved by tactics and strategies. It may be that the Lib Dems signed away half of their support forever when they joined the coalition. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
