A government of national unity between Labour and the Conservatives may sound far-fetched, especially amid the froth and fury of a nascent election campaign. It would certainly be tricky, exacerbating internal divisions and leading to more defections. Yet, while there are serious disagreements, the two parties have more in common with each other than with the insurgents on many key issues – especially if David Cameron survived and Miliband was replaced by someone such as Chuka Umunna.
Well, duh! Many of us have been saying for a while that they are merely two cheeks of the same arse. Blue Labour or red Tory – both are the enemy of liberty and both are more than happy to piss our money up the wall on fake charities, quangos and think-tanks. Both are more than happy to allow these unelected bureaucrats and control-freaks to dictate our lifestyles. Given that neither is prepared to do what is right and proper; slash the public and third sectors, get the state out of our lives and give us our money back, then yes, a coalition between the two them isn’t far-fetched. Damned if I can tell the difference already.
If the unthinkable happened, that UKIP, please God, happened to hold the balance of power after the election, then i have no doubt the two cheeks of the same arse would cooperate to foil the enemy, the enemy being democracy the British people and their desire to be just left the fuck alone to get on with their lives.
Both these bastards would do anything to keep us in the EU. God alone knows why…
“Two cheeks of the same arse” -perfect
