Slashing with a broadsword? No.
Nobody is suggesting that there would be easy times ahead if a different party had won.....what I was actually saying was the Tories will slash and burn and not just "trim".

You can see why the Lib dems have done this deal. For the first time in years they've actually got close to winning a general election, so form a coalition with another party.....don't as long as they don't rock the boat too much they could actually have a fighting chance of winning the next GE outright. A good tactical move, but how they'll reconcile their differences with fundamental Tory party policy will be interesting to see.
