A brilliant article (click the text above to see in full) on the Lib-Con coalition from Times columnist Matthew Parris.

“How often has it happened in our lifetimes that, as politicians spoke, so many attitudes began to shift? I could feel my own conservative political philosophy creak and bend under the weight of the moment. Listening to Mr Cameron and Nick Clegg talking to the assembled ranks of the news media — and through them to the nation — I could almost hear the rumble, crack and shudder of a conceptual earthquake stirring beneath us”

I think there is something mysterious and wonderful going on in this nation. Its scary because we’ve never imagined that things could go right. I certainly watched with a good deal of fear as the conservatives gained support around the country. But what if I was wrong. What things do go right this time?

What if against all my expectations this is a step in the right direction?

What if, somehow, living with hope is becoming a realistic outlook?

I think its time to start dreaming Britain.
