THE DYE IS CAST, VOTES COUNTED, AND NOW ?????

Have you ever got lost? have you had to rely on your map reading skills,if you had them in the first place, or were you lucky enough to have a friend or colleague with you, who could do that for you and get you out of trouble.

If like me you have never been a boy scout or girl guide then your map reading skills are way down the list of good points you might have learnt in life. Nowadays most of us, if we're motorists that is have that friend in a box that we have come to know as a sat nav, who shouts out at us in a woman's voice or that of Basil fawlty,"in four hundred yards turn left or "turn around when possible"

Well you get the drift of what I am saying no doubt. Directions, directions but which way to go? do we listen to that siren voice coming from that Grey box stuck on the bottom of your windscreen, or do you go with your instinct and go the way you want to go anyway, only to find that you haven't arrived at aunt Bessie's as you had hoped but ended up at the end of a farm lane and duck pond.

On the other hand, should you follow that metallic siren voice would you be any better off? from experience its swings and roundabouts you might think, who's right, or who's wrong. From my own experience with a sat nav they have their good and bad points as I learnt to my peril when running low on fuel one day, not funny I can assure you stuck in the wilds of Dartmoor with the petrol light flashing at you on low and not knowing if you are going to find your way back on the straight and narrow before you run out of fuel completely.

Quite an analogy if you think about it if you compare a sat nav with this Governments actions in the past and what is happening now, today to every single one of us, young or old, rich or poor. By their actions, Government and politicians in general have acted as though they are a sat nav on a bad day, giving directions, reversing, going round in circles and driving headlong into deep water with no way out.

Siren voices, all speaking at once, with no clear direction in which ever way they turn, to get this car, our country back on to the right road, and as always its the driver that always comes of worst if the sat nav gets it wrong, or in this instance its you and I at the hands of Government who will pay the price.

This country has suffered greatly in the past but today that suffering is intensified ten, no one hundredfold our countries stability is falling round our ears, our economy is breaking apart, our forces stand at the gates of hell in helmand province and in Afghanistan as a whole. Lives lost needlessly, families broken, our generals in despair through lack of funding, and the very fabric of society is in danger of total collapse with rising crime, rising immigration, housing in crisis, and you will be forgiven should you ask yourselves where will it all end?

This world is unstable with terrorism and worldwide breakdown, this country in on the brink of an abyss, the result of which is unthinkable, BUT THINK ABOUT IT WE MUST unless we want to see our children and their children suffer, if you think its bad now, imagine what it could be like in say ten, fifteen twenty years time.

2010, the end of the first decade of this new millennium, a new horizon stretching into the distance of time, and the time has come, today, this month, this year, to start to think about the future, where wrong decisions could mean a bleak future for years to come for every man, woman and child of this once great country.

The dye has been cast, votes have been counted, and the new Government administration has now begun to try and unravel the colossal mountain of debt this country finds itself in after the years of misrule and gross mishandling of this countries finances.

No easy task to do, and it is my personal belief that now we have a coalition Government, where no one party is in control that maybe just maybe we will begin to see politicians doing what they are elected to do, GOVERN in the best interests of this country and its people.

those self same politicians have lost something vital that any politician needs, and that is TRUST! the trust of those who elect them, without trust there is no hope, and without hope there is no future.

One thing I will say to Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg is this "DO NOT TREAT THE BRITISH PEOPLE WITH CONTEMPT" for this people will remember and we will never forget, as we should never forget our servicemen.

We expect strong leadership, we will respect you if you in turn treat us with respect, lead from the front, but please, NEVER TAKE THE BRITISH PEOPLE FOR GRANTED, because if you do so you will reap a poor harvest and will lose our trust forever.

With this new coalition between the Liberal Democrat and the Conservative parties there now lies a chance to WORK TOGETHER for the good of our people, the Labor party had its chance, THIRTEEN YEARS OF CHANCE to make things better but messrs Blair and Brown threw it all away, but blame cannot be laid just at their feet for it is not a government of one person but of many and each elected member of that previous administration of MP's and cabinet Ministers must take blame proportionately.

Old Labor Vs New Labor, old politics Vs new politics, we will have a lot to learn from this new beginning, this new coalition of change but change must happen if we are ever going to regain the high ground where we once stood, all other ground is shifting sands that will suck all of us into oblivion.
