My first thought - that would be one of the most likely flashpoints in the coalition tbh.

What are the alternatives though? Having silos is a stupid idea as it presents enemies with a static target.

Lib Dems entering government with the Tories will be "like vegetarians who've got jobs at McDonald's - they'll be chewed up and spat out",

So you've resorted to simply copying and pasting Labour quotes as your own, lost the will to think up your own spin?

Paddy Pantsdown as Defence Secretary? That's disappointing, I think Liam Fox would have been rather good.

As much as I think it is too important a role to be given to third place, Paddy is a Royal Marine and SBS alumni and worked for the UK security services...

I mean, come on!?!?!??!?! We'll have a Defence Sec. that has actually been in combat.

I imagine that now the Lib dems are in the spot light more will have some proven leadership experience that they might fair much better at the next election.

Which will be a very good thing. The two-party arrangement we have at present is killing politics in this country.
 
I'm massively in favour of the cabinet having relevant experience that qualifies them for their position. Ashdown as defence secretary would be easily the best example I can think of.

On a local service level it is when everyone pays the same for the provision of those services.

On a national income tax level it is when everyone pays the same percentage.

That's an extremely selfish version of "fair". There are those in society who have nothing better to spend their millions on than new Porsches, and those who struggle to put food on the table.

And you'd like them to be equal bearers of the tax burden?

With an adequate untaxed sum on a national level it will work fine.

If the "rich" want to contribute more they can do so via charity, as many rich people seem to do anyway
