Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?
Cameron must, in hindsight, be delighted with the way things have turned out.
Had he got a working majority, the necessary cuts that the government needs to make would have been labelled by the left and a large section of the British public as "same old Tory cuts", whereas now it appears they've got an alliance with the lib dems they have a shield for that false (but damaging) criticism by being able to say, we discussed this with vince cable and our other lib dem friends first and we decided together that cut 'x' and cut 'y' were necessary.
Some might say that cameron even planned it this way...
