Not yet final results of local elections and national (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), but the UK now finds itself with a political landscape changed. Not too well the Labour Party, which, while advancing in England and Wales comes back strongly in Scotland. Edinburgh is a landslide for the Scottish National Party (SNP), Social Democratic and independent since 2007 form a minority government.
They hold the Cameron Conservatives, while bad, very bad to be the Lib Dem Nick Clegg, who pay the price for having apparently sold out, for in the government with the Tories, their traditional policies: the defense of the university, whose fees are tripled, to health, to public employment.
Still missing, and that will not arrive late in the evening, the results of the referendum on electoral system. An epic clash between the supporters of the majority Dry (who gets one more vote wins the whole college) and the proponents of a corrective, not proportional, but at least more representative, which rewards the candidates according to preferences assigned to them .
Cameron and his support of the current system, Clegg and the Lib Dem for reform. And here, all the polls announced a crushing defeat for the reformers, Clegg first. The referendum of May 5 was a year ago, one of the main conditions for the entry of the Lib Dem in an otherwise government without a parliamentary majority.
Yet the campaign for a yes to change the electoral system is not only embedded in the boredom of a subject that has excited voters, but it also tore the representatives of government (and the Labour Party split) in a fight continues . That will certainly back together, since the legislature has still four years ahead.
But with deep wounds that will weigh on the future of the coalition. Someone already asked the head of Nick Clegg, who has wanted an agreement with Cameron, dragging his party into a hug, some of its exponents unnatural, with the Conservatives. The price you pay the government "and we must learn the lesson," said the former golden boy of British politics, Obama on the Thames, who only a year ago was crazy mothers, daughters and students in search of a left "reformist" (but not Labour) and brand new.
Sic transit gloria mundi. The government quickly wears out in London. Especially those who do not keep promises.
