Clegg in charge @ No 10?

While the Boss is sunning himself in sunny Spain, the people are asking: 'Who's in charge?'.

You may recall, we faced the same issue, not so long ago, when the Boy David took himself off for one of his frequent 'rest cures'. Now, Wailing Lad Clegg has had a really hard time - the times merited the 'wailing' and the 'weeping to music'. But now it's time to set aside such emotion and concentrate on getting the LibDems into 'muscular' control.

Anyway that's what I heard on the grapevine! But have things worked out? Well ... No, they have not.

There was a report  'the respected Constitution Unit' conducted it!   So they must know, mustn't they?  They did endless interviews - with '60 key players in Whitehall'.   So far, I have yet to meet a 'key player'!  But the Constitution Unit claimed to have met 60 of them!

So - after talking to these serious minded chaps and chapesses - what was the result?

1. The key bilateral meeting of the week is between Cameron and Clegg and takes place on Monday morning every week - except when the Boss is away on a 'rest cure', of course!

2. In addition, there are preparatory meetings for the bilateral talks on Thursday or Friday - except when the Boss is away on a 'rest cure'.

3. Excitingly (my words NOT the Constitution Units!) Boy David and Wailing Lad Clegg often talk by phone on Sunday evenings ahead of reaching a decision in the formal bilateral on Monday.   Except when the Boss is away on a 'rest cure'.  I don't think that Boy David has 'roaming' on his mobile!

The report said that the poor old LibDems were 'reeling' from lack of funds given to Opposition Parties!  Perhaps, they should have stayed in Opposition - then they'd have had lots of lovely dosh!

The LibDems have 'spread themselves too thinly', says the report.  And don't we know it!

It seems that the LibDems lack 'special advisers of their own' and 'various ad hoc solutions have been reached'.  We all know what that means, don't we?

The conclusion seems to be that in this bright 'Coalition Government' that we bask in daily, the LibDems and notable poor old Wailing Lad Clegg have drawn the short straw.  Of course, when you're faced with a rowe of Old Etonians grinning at you - it's not surprising, is it?   That would daunt even the fiercest of all.  Someone once said that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, didn't they?  It seems the LibDems have just met their Waterloo too!

To return to my opening query - who is in charge of the UK?  It's obviously not Clegg and the LibDems - perhaps it's one or more of the 60 key players!
