A New Era

The last week has seen a monumental shift in British politics and, as a result, British society overall.

A new Conservative-Liberal coalition has been formed, one based on the principles of 'fairness, freedom and responsibility'. It's not come as welcome to all however. Large sways of the political parties as well as the general population feel uneasy about this new step. The last coalition government was formed 65 years ago, during war-time. How it will work in this day and age remains to be seen.

Still, I am hugely optimistic about the way the Conservatives and Liberals have vowed to put aside party differences and embrace 'a new politics' in the national interest.

I can't wait to see what Cameron and Clegg will do first and I deeply hope they live up to the expectations and aspirations of the British people. This country is in desperate need of reform. Not only in our politics but also in our homes, our education system, our financial system and just about everywhere else! 'Fairness, freedom and responsibility' have been missing for too long. It's time for a revival.

Bring On The Coalition!
