David Cameron and Nick Clegg-UK Democracy.mov

My hastily produced animation inspired by the final result of the UK General Election, on the 11th May 2010. Gordon Brown resigns, after being long hounded by the Tory press, although for his own reasons; in doing so he continues to help stabilise the economy by forcing Nick Clegg to make a decision, instead of basking in the limelight. Clegg chooses the unlikely alliance of The Conservatives, (I have to say his 'tribute' to Gordon Brown was one of the most insincere things I have ever seen, and hes no match for Cameron on the acting/lying front). This will upset all those who voted for The Liberal Democrats, because they couldn't face the prospect of four years under the Tories. Adding up the no-Tory vote may hold the greatest majority, and anyway policy-wise they are further away and more extreme than the other two main parties.
However, both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats seem so hungry for power; they both seem to have forgotten what they stood for and more so what beliefs and policies they campaigned on, to their respective followers. I would think most voters feel a little duped today. Paddy Ashdown and others are putting on a brave face; Malcolm Rifkind has already shown his anger at Clegg, for talking to Labour secretly. I think we are in for 4 years of in-fighting and back-stabbing, between and within the two parties, so much for a stable government then. But first we must watch the Tories dismantle Brown's steady recovery plan, and sack public sector workers, Thatcher style. These have some of the biggest and most organised Unions, so expect some disruptions. The Liberal Democrats, think they can dilute the extreme Tory policies, this may happen at the start, on some lesser policies, but Cameron is too single minded to put up with too much interference for too long. If you thought the recession was bad under Gordon Brown? You ain't seen nothing yet! I don't blame the Lib-Dem voters as many in their own party couldn't have foreseen an alliance with the Tories. Cameron must have been spinning some good ones over pizza the other night. Poor Cleggy looks doe-eyed and infatuated with Cameron. Like some public schoolboy crush on a senior. He better like fagging, as I reckon they'll be boots to clean and not many decisions to make. Any mellowing of the Government with Lib-Dem front benchers will be balanced, with extremists.
Great, if they could all work together, but look at the Vince Cable 2008 brilliant attack on the Tories, (my favorites, while it is still on line). Im not sure the Tories have actually changed much since then have they? There are many other similar videos on here, are we to believe they can bury those differences, for four years, or were they lying to the electorate to catch votes, and power, and the remuneration that goes with that? The Labour party are well out of it, but will no doubt be blamed by the other two for, 'the mess we inherited', for as long as they can spin that out. This makes the election and our reasons for voting for partys a bit pointless really, how can we believe them again?
Do see webcameron's own video, (in my favourites), for their view just a few days ago, on coalitions and a hung parliament, (while it's still up at least).

what should they have gone in with labour? while i dont approve of the torries or the current government and while the conservatives may be more fiscally right wing, labour are a more authoriatarian party. Lets face it the lib dems had to go with someone and thus compromise and they are closer to the torries than labour, I mean some conservatives are close to being classical liberals

[onwebcameron]

@rehanabey

True, but why so vehemently campaign against the many policies they now support, if they were so ready to compromise/change their minds? It shows their pre-election campaigning was about getting votes at any cost more than it was a genuine belief in their so-called policies.

[SarahAntsez]

I think it's very clever and absolutely hilarious .. a cartoon, and I'm not in the slightest bit ignorant ..or party political ( unlike MCBRRRRSN who is so loyal to his party ,the lib dems, that if the coalition made Nick Griffin a race relations minister .. he'd approve ..) that's why he's not awfully clever .

@ShutterBug10lol

Although according to your channel you liked it, twice!

[charliewhat]

@carlitox472 .....are you on crack? the man in the weel chair can not walk and protests weren't banned under labour...that was the conservatives under the criminal justice act, get your facts right shidiot and admit that the lib dems will shit on an orphan whos puppy just died for a little bit of power, also your referring to one demo and forgetting about the hundreds that have been going on across the country,

[1996KTDW]

Simple but effective, states the point clearly, love it :)

[angloengland]

People need to realise that democratic regimes are actually not democratic, this system is of a bygone era when a man to represent thousands of people in another part of the country was necessary but due to modern communications/ technology they are no longer needed. They do not serve the will of the people at all and need to be replaced, the parties they represent work against democracy! The people should propose new legislation/ laws/ changes, then the people approve it!

@cyclingheroify

He was hit with a baton by the same officer who came back to him later and dragged him out of a wheelchair, that you could either 'wheel' or 'lift' with the help of others who aided him, if you genuinely wanted to remove him rather than intimidate him. Just because he can sometimes walk does not mean he doesn't also need a wheelchair at times. I have known people living with cerebral palsy and this seems to be consistent with them too.

[cyclingheroify]

@onwebcameron he wasn't assaulted, he was removed from blocking the police reinforcing their lines. he was at a riot, he is an equal human being, he was treated well. Tony liar banned all protests there and he would have been arrested and detained for peaceful protest. he has been arrested for B&E. Also - he can walk. The behaviour of 25.000 Labour supporters rioting and terrorising the city was appalling and NOT democratic. you screwed the country and lost the election. deal.

[onwebcameron]

@carlitox472

So you think it was okay to assault the guy in the wheelchair then?

The guy in the wheel chair, who has cerebral palsy was not causing trouble with the police on that occaision, if you say he was identified as a guy who was walking when he 'broke into Millbank' then he should be arrested and put through the courts, if they have that evidence, not dragged across the pavement from his wheel chair.

That is the democracy, you seem to be against.

@carlitox472

Still doesn't change the fact that Clegg's lying actions instigated these riots. I think it was the Tories that built the Downing street gates, as they were so unpopular at the time, and them that saw the bloodiest riots last time they were in office. By comparison Blair's civil unrest was mild, and these guys haven't been in a year yet. They must be doing something wrong? Anyway I have let you have your say, unlike webcameron, where they seem to employ people to remove posts.

[carlitox472]

@onwebcameron um, yes. Under Labour protests were banned and we were arrested for sitting peacefully. That guy 'in a' wheelchair - who can walk, broke into millbank and instigated riots. Only 25,000 people attended (vs. 2million opposed to Blair) and they attacked innocent civilians, desecrated the cenotaph, tried to burn the Traf sq xmas tree and still...it's legal. Liberal's say "no ban!" even though Labour' appointed police chief has asked for it. So yeah. The spin is from Lab people still!
