Norman Tebbit's wily ways.

I heard Norman Tebbit giving his six pen'orth to the BBC. He thinks Cameron didn't win outright (failed really!) because he tried a syrupy mixture of policies designed to finish off what Tony Blair didn't get round to doing. That's where the Big Society thing comes in. It sort of worked in some places but not in others. Lord Tebbit is very much non-Liberal. The thought of mucking in with the LibDems is more than anathema. It's strong smelling salts time.

If a coalition deal comes unstuck it won't be because of Cameron and Clegg. It won't even be because of the team players. It will be because the fans on the terraces could well cut up rough and start on at each other. But we can't afford sandals and silk ties at dawn. We've got a financial crisis to deal with. Now if the bankers scarper to Zurich I for one couldn't blame them if we are all squabbling over who sits where or who talks to whom.
