John, you should be able to remember the period from about 56 to 70, during which the Italians went through a similar period of political turbulence.

The standing joke of the time was "Hi there, who is prime minister THIS week?"

The Mafia wound up running the country, and it took years of assassinations and terrorism to clean them out.

Do we really want that?

Also, whenever your Lib/Dems have had the chance to make a difference during a hung parliament (at least three times in MY lifetime), instead of cherry picking the best ideas from both sides, and making them reality, what did they do?

They rubber stamped Labour Party decisions, good or bad (and plenty WERE very bad).

Do we want THAT again, Gordon Brown propped up by Nick Clegg?

I don't think so.

Don T.
