Well the people have had their say and given a vote of confidence in David Cameron and George Osborne with a clear mandate to deliver more of the same. The Labour party is a shambles and the Lib Dems are all but decimated and both are headless with the voters showing the door to a long list of well known former MPs.

The PM has improved his authority and I hope this leads to his success in winning the much needed reforms in the EU. Who knows - if Greece becomes officially bankrupt this could lead to a new Charter at which there would be a chance make important changes.

Back home our parliamentary system relies on a strong opposition, so it is to be hoped that Labour learn from their mistakes and move back to be a just left of party with a new generation of leaders.

If Greece goes bankrupt I think we should buy it.
