David Seymour "Don't worry" - Lilith7 - 31-05-2025
Oh, really?
If anything, I suspect that now IS the time to worry.

Wishful thinking, but we aren't there yet. Rimmer is finally in a position of power, he's going to love it !

Hopefully it will keep him too busy to come up with more hair brained ideas.
Winnie seemed to be conveniently absent from the ceremony?

Of course we are going to give him a chance - we don't have much choice.

I don't know that those parties have the maturity yet to be able to form a stable coalition, so who assumes what roles within it is a matter of conjecture. I'd like to think they could come together, they have a great deal of common positions, but I fear individual ambition and self centredness will put spokes into that particular wheel sadly...
It's hard to take the personal out of co operation.

It might help if they were to recognise that the main thing needed here is the removal of Neo Liberalism, preferably as swiflty as possible.
Probably the best we can hope for is another coalition but this time a good deal less smug, & rather more concerned with the welfare of all of us, rather than just the wealthy.

Winston pretty much agreed with the suggestion.
