Clegg is, well, Clegg, but the Liberals do have the handy effect of restraining the Tories from going MAXIMUM THATCHER...
Summary - .......basically, if the country had to have a Tory government this is about as moderate you're going to get.
Of course, needless to say, assuming Labour elect David Miliband (or, really, any non-Diane Abbott candidate) as leader, I'll still be hoping the government is out of office at the next election.
As Tory governments go, this is about as good as one could expect, although being an awful partisan I still hope Labour make a comeback.
I'd say strongly approve meh for now, since I didn't hear of them doing anything wrong or bad.
I agree with the above statements. The current government is making the best of a bad situation (the bad situation being the Tories back in power).
My overall opinion right now is "meh". If the Tories had to be back in power, this is as good an outcome as left wingers could hope for. Cameron is better than Hague and Michael Howard would have been (Duncan-Smith seemed okay though). I don't have an opinion on Abbott yet. I like Miliband. I get the impression he'd be a DLC-type leader (from the party's right wing) but that worked for Blair so its not as bad as DLC members here. I regret not supporting Labour more strongly during the election but I
stupidly really thought the Lib Dems would do better than they ended up doing.
I thought Cameron & Obama would like each other, thoroughly modern, young, new ways of thinking, etc. but either they aren't hitting it off or its too soon after the election and both are more concerned with domestic matters for now. Does anyone know what their relationship is like? Of course, Blair and Bush got along great but I've heard Blair and Clinton didn't.
