Plus ça change… or…What will the general election change?

So, despite what all the experts predicted, Mr Cameron managed to win and not just win but win an outright majority.  Millions of pounds were spent on polls and experts who were all wrong.  He doesn’t need the SNP or the Lib Dems.  So we have the same PM but now he will think he has a fresh mandate for his policies; that he was right and that we want him to pursue his vision.  Now I am certainly no political pundit, but given how wrong they were, maybe that is a good thing!  I don’t believe for a minute ‘the great British Public’ feels that way.  I suspect that either they felt that:-

1. All the others were even more wrong or more dangerous, or
2. At least we knew what he is like, or at least that,
3. The Tories are least likely to make a mess of the economy,and probably
4. That their vote would make no difference!

I suspect we believed we voted for as little change as possible and yet even though the same hand is on the helm, we are likely to get more extreme policies now than we had before, now that there is no need for a moderating influence of others.  Luckily, despite politicians best endeavours, the civil service will decide what they and we really need!  So despite the fact that we have the same man in charge, it is anyone’s guess whether we will see radical change or more of the same old thing!
