Coalescing

For the first time in years I find myself interested in how the country of which I am a citizen is being, or about to be, governed. The fact that the coalition doing the governing looks about as unlikely a combination as you can get points to the odd possibility it just might work. I must say, I enjoy the idea of nobody quite being able to get their own way.

I reckon the press will turn nasty in about four months, and then we'll see what the guys at the helm are made of. I rather hope it'll turn out to be something solid, despite supporting neither of them. I must be mellowing in my old age.
