Truth is, it\u2019s all seemed to have died down; Clegg has full support of his Liberal followers, senior Tories have warmed to the idea of the\u00a0coalition and the Labour leadership battle is just getting under way with both Milliband brothers standing for election \u2013 there\u2019s nothing overly dramatic going on. It\u2019s all a bit quiet and happy happy\u2026a 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\u2019s a good thing \u2013 the era of new politics has dawned.\u00a0Cameron and his Tories are getting on with the job, chancellor\u00a0George Osborne is to set out the government\u2019s deficit reduction scheme this week and Cameron announced\u00a0his plans for Europe, all is well? I think the\u00a0election fever has worn off and the initial excitement that surrounded the\u00a0forming of our\u00a0first coalition government since the war has really worn off and we could see people turning against the\u00a0new prime minister in weeks, as details of tax rises become apparent. So, there\u2019s not\u00a0really a great deal to say in relation to politics at the moment\u00a0thus be prepared for a\u00a0shortage 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 \u2013 it\u2019s 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.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2010\/05\/17\/article-1278980-0992C482000005DC-910_233x411.jpg"}
