Last night saw the creation of a brand new government; a coalition between the Conservative party and the Liberal Democrat party. As I’m sure everyone is, I’m looking very forward to seeing how this collaborative government works for the country. A new type of politics? Well, we shall soon find out!

As a liberal democrat I couldn’t hope for anything more. The conservatives have offered a referendum on electoral reform, positioned Nick Clegg as deputy PM, and the liberal’s best policies have been selected, including the £10,000 personal allowance.

As Lord Ashdown neatly put it… “hurray!”
