Will The New UK Coalition Government Hold Together?
The new UK coalition government is only a few days old and on its honeymoon so to speak. But once this ‘getting to know you’ period is over, it’s down to the seriousness of the situation the UK is in. With both sides of the coalition having different views on certain things how will they resolve them for the good of the country? To that end will the new government hold together?
If you listen to what the leaders of the two parties making up the coalition say, then everything is alright now and a lot is being done to keep things together.
There’s really no way of telling. If it will stand the test of time, great, if it doesn’t, I’m sure many will not be surprised. Their economic program seems to lack many key items that a lot of people are extremely upset about. There is to be wide scale cuts in terms of social programs and jobs and some of these has already begun.
The government is also expected to propose the privatization of certain government owned institutions and this is not going down well with many workers and unions.
Many of the economic measures are geared towards cutting the current UK deficit over the short term. Some new legislation will likely be tabled towards the financial sector to restrict their operation and bonuses given to its managers.
Another pressing concern is that of the environmental policies introduced by the new UK coalition. It is definitely one of the strong points, as it focuses on home energy improvement, new regulations for kerosene suppliers, saving marine energy, ideas for emissions performance, and wildlife, but again the general public seems to feel as if it just isn’t enough. Do I think it’s enough? Sure, I think it’s definitely a start, but no plan is perfect. It’s certainly something to build upon, and from there you can only grow.
I don’t see the new UK coalition failing outright, but I also don’t see it pleasing everyone anytime soon. If they keep at it, and work hard, it’ll all come together one way or another. For every pressing concern, there are also positive elements, and with that, they can help knock out the bad.
And I think that this will work, just not overnight. Give it some time, and expect the best. Afterall, thinking negatively usually means bad results.
