&lt;/script&gt;</html><description>Many of you are probably wondering why I&#x2019;ve not posted anything political for a while. Truth is, it&#x2019;s all seemed to have died down; Clegg has full support of his Liberal followers, senior Tories have warmed to the idea of the&#xA0;coalition and the Labour leadership battle is just getting under way with both Milliband brothers standing for election &#x2013; there&#x2019;s nothing overly dramatic going on. It&#x2019;s all a bit quiet and happy happy&#x2026;a bit too happy quiet and happy happy. But you know, if things are so tranquil and people are happy with the new government then I guess it&#x2019;s a good thing &#x2013; the era of new politics has dawned.&#xA0;Cameron and his Tories are getting on with the job, chancellor&#xA0;George Osborne is to set out the government&#x2019;s deficit reduction scheme this week and Cameron announced&#xA0;his plans for Europe, all is well? I think the&#xA0;election fever has worn off and the initial excitement that surrounded the&#xA0;forming of our&#xA0;first coalition government since the war has really worn off and we could see people turning against the&#xA0;new prime minister in weeks, as details of tax rises become apparent. So, there&#x2019;s not&#xA0;really a great deal to say in relation to politics at the moment&#xA0;thus be prepared for a&#xA0;shortage in rants relating to Westminster and its demons. I might take my mind in a different direction for a while, focusing on things of a religious and philosophical nature &#x2013; it&#x2019;s nice to have a good debate. Again, I apologise for the seemingly increasing lack of cohesion and formality of my recent posts; squeezing your brain for something to write is more taxing than it sounds. Love to you all.</description><thumbnail_url>http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/17/article-1278980-0992C482000005DC-910_233x411.jpg</thumbnail_url></oembed>
