The first coalition for sixty years, the election of Britain’s first Green MP and a race for the leadership of the opposition that includes a black woman MP gives parliamentary politics a different dynamic to the end game of the last Labour government.

In coalitions, tone and substance can affect each other. In the crucible of government will the two chemicals of Liberal Democrat and Conservative policies fuse as a new compound or will they separate in a vote of no confidence? The fact of consultation can change the policies – there is a need for a constant conversation within government. We are likely to see more consultations and maybe more inquiries.
