Gove and Osborne are tied in my mind. 1/2 a vote each please.

We must stick to our guns on many more things, as we currently look like daisies flapping in the wind. And Dasies do not win voters confidence.
Internal blowers should cease.

I suggest that other commentators here have misinterpreted the "green" situation.. It is very possible to support CO2 reduction, but not the current technology we are spending billions on.

Wind power, and most solar power is inefficient, both technically and commercially. It is too unreliable,of too low a power density and too expensive per kwh to provide the base power for a small, densely populated industrialised country.

More efficient green technologies are emerging, such as hydrogen from water and new forms of nuclear, such as Thorium reactors. These will give low CO2 at lower on-going costs, and be less intrusive.

The current plans call for the UK to have spent $21Billion per year by 2020..and the world $359Billion on current CO2 reduction technologies by 2020.This is all paid by power users..

Despite these large sums, annual CO2 emissions have increased by 59% since 1990, and are not predicted to fall until later in the century...and then only if the large industrialised countries play ball.

Thus, to me, governments investing globally in accelerating commercialisation of effective and efficient high-density green technologies, and using fracked gas until these are available, will be lower cost, more effective and less intrusive than current green plans.

Japan has just stopped its conventional "green" technologies, and is instead investing billions in new, high density green solutions.

Thus, I hope that Mr. Cameron means to reduce the current costly and inefficient green technology, but invest in developing globally efficient high density green solutions. These would truly reduce energy bills and CO2.

The other option is a conservative - UKIP tie up in some way. More likely than a Conservative - Labour one.

Maybe not, but it is a lot better than only having been in education and politics before becoming an MP.

No, that is not the suggestion. Unions will be free to call a strike of their members, but will require more than 50% of the union members to vote for that strike.
