Let them drink from the poisoned chalice

In line with my previous post, the conservatives should also remember the words of Mervyn King governor of the Bank of England, who told the U.S. economist David Hale that

"whoever wins this election will be out of power for a whole generation because of how tough the fiscal austerity will have to be."

It sounds to me like a reasonable assessment, so why swap a few years in coalition with the liberal democrats for a generation in the wilderness. Leave labour to drink from their own poisoned chalice: if Nick Clegg wants to share it with them leave him to it.  Instead, I recommend a glass of Chateau Latour Grand Vin; you have earned it.

I hear 1989 was a good vintage
