After his victory in the first televised debate of the British electoral campaign, the Liberal Democrat candidate Nick Clegg is going to play for real in the second debate, which will focus on international politics. Although the young leader will insist on the need for more and better equip British troops in Afghanistan, Cameron will not hesitate to take to reduce Europeanism Clegg, sin in island politics.
Today, the United Kingdom has more trade with the Netherlands that with all the Commonwealth. To a large extent, the liberalizing policies of Brussels that both the French are scared of Anglo-Saxon inspiration. However, the average British ciudano, the 'little Englander', is still the European Union as a conspiracy sovietizante that is undermining the sovereignty and democracy in the country. If for most mortals bruselesca mainland policy is a powerful sleeping pill, the perfidious Albion, the threat of a 'federation' and a 'superstate' Europe are discussed in the afternoon tea. And it is very difficult to accuse of anti-democratic to a system created out of international treaties between States which have failed the test of constitutional rubric. Clegg
can not hide behind the war on terrorism and must take the bull by the horns. Must bring the power of the EU states and not the Commission or Parliament, to the British government itself co-responsible for the ills often attributed to the entity called 'Europe'. Could exploit the alleged international isolation of a Tory cabinet taking as evidence the recent breakdown of the British Conservatives in the People's Party in Parliament Europe, but this gesture sad satisfying than the British. Still, it would not hurt to remind the progress of the influential Conservative MEP Edward MacMillan-Scott, who after a historic quarrel with the party leadership has joined the Liberal Democrats.
Britain wants to change. But it seems to rely entirely on Cameron. Hence the best possible coalition, if any, would be between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.

We could then imagine Cameron as Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Clegg, Cable Exchequer, and the rest of the cabinet yielded to the Conservatives. Labour's
A long journey awaits you in the desert. Do not forget, however, that these elections are one-person play in very small districts, where the individual work of the deputy (and their patronage networks) are above party affiliation. Hence, perhaps to mitigate the inevitable disaster.
The Times want a strong government for hard times. From the skyscrapers of the financial City begins to circulate the rumor that a coalition government would lower the public debt rating in the UK. Tory-LibDem coalition can not be made explicit in advance, but must insinuate to be gaining legitimacy among the electorate. If Cameron revives, it is likely that everything returns to normal and the coalition is a passing nightmare. But if Clegg gets out alive or even wins the second debate, the United Kingdom would be way BECOME one of those governments as common commitment to 'mainland Europe. " That to drive on the right is a step.
