I'm not generally one to express a political opinion publicly but I'm actually pretty happy with the way the UK coalition government worked out. Heritage and history can give you experience but not necessarily a modern way of applying it, youth can help you foresee the future and react to change. Combining the two together is really no bad thing, providing the communication is good.
From a programmers perspective, bringing old code up to date is often more realistic and robust than rewriting it from scratch without a working reference. Often you can't teach an old dog new tricks; but I hope both sides are willing to educate and be educated.
I suspect there are a lot of unhappy Lib Dems out there. You shouldn't be. |
