Having neglected my blog for several days, we have now got to the point where David Cameron is the new PM. Nice. Even nicer that he is supported by Nick Clegg, my personal politician of choice. I think.

Anyway, it is interesting to see the American reaction to the British election. While most of my Facebook friends seemed to be bemoaning the ridiculousness of the British system, hung parliament, it'll never work, etc etc, I heard a news report yesterday, from a political commentator holding up our system as an admirable demonstration of democracy: two parties working together and "quietly getting on with it". It made me quite proud to be British.
