I had a dream....
It took me to May 6th 2015....
Cameron Caves In
"It's time for me to go"
May 6th 2015
A humiliated David Cameron took a short walk from the black front door of no.10 to the lectern where he spoke to a Downing Street full of reporters. After a crushing defeat in the 2015 general elections Cameron realised his time was up. Before crowds of journalists he read from a small piece of ministerial paper and told us all what we wanted to hear. A once confident Cameron looked ashen, tired & dejected as he opened his short speech. I know "It's time for me to go" he uttered, a sense of calm rather than shock followed as people repeated his words to a media in waiting. Cameron's popularity in the polls has slumped to an all time low but it was a fight back from the sectors of society most kicked by 5 years of savage cuts who took to the polling booths in thousands and said 'enough is enough'. Cameron's repeated promises to deliver on economic growth never materialised, the coalition cracked, we're back to days of the unemployment figures related to an era of Thatcherism. Cameron never had mass approval from day one and it just went from bad to worse. Middle England came to realise that economic disaster wasn't down to endemic worklessness as government's once 'flagship' WORK programme revealed how a rise in welfare expenditure had little to do with people languishing on the sick and more to do with looking after people living to a ripe age.
Coalition collapse
Once upon a time they called him the 'king-maker', but following the worst ever results for the Liberals, Clegg conceded to defeat and stepped down as his party called for a return to traditional values. Quite how the Liberal democrats will ever bounce back is anyone's guess. Seat after seat of once Liberal land was lost as voters voiced their discontent at a party which has abandoned everything it was meant to stand for. Clegg reached for his blackberry and offered his resignation to the party leaders who had been calling for Clegg to go for the last 18 months. Clegg was overheard on his mobile saying "the coalition had been an absolute disaster"- later that evening he was to face the anger of campaigners as he lost his deposit in what had been by far the strongest Liberal seat in the country.
The people voted 'NO' at the polls...
The country had seen through all the 'transparency'
The coalition's 'flagship' reforms hadn't worked....
Voters got fed up with the coalition blaming everyone else....
Voters said 'NO' to the same old sleaze...
No one wanted to listen to the 'posh boys' any more...
Backbencher's abandoned against Westminster to address their constituent's needs...
