+1 Oxford winning promotion back to the league +1 Pushing for House of Lords elected under PR -1 Immigration cap +1 Allowing vote on AV -1 Anti-European moves on things like working time directive -1 Opposing third runway +1 Pushing ahead with nuclear power -1 Renewing trident +1 Tax cut to the poor +1 Paid for by raising CGT
--
So, starting from a 5/10, we get to 7/10, which really isn't bad for a Tory government.
-
Haven't yet made my mind up on the budget cutting measures - need to see what they are; also not made up my mind on this new budget oversight office.

"The sooner we can shed the ball & chain that is England the better."
At last, oh, we agree.
Can't wait for England to float clear of Scotland.
Guarantees two things: 1. Labour will NEVER get in again south of the border. 2. Over time, the high tax and spend policies of Scotland will be thrown into sharp relief compared to England's comparative low-tax economy.
Don't worry - there'll be plenty other benefits to England too. Can't wait.

Labour could have managed it in 1997 and 2001 without Scotland. Admittedly, having to put up with rampant Torydom for 18 years beforehand probably helped.

+1 Cameron not being Gordon Brown +1 Clegg not being Pies Prescott -1 George Osborne as Chancellor +1 Vince Cable at Business (but should have been Chief Secretary to the Treasury) +1 Lower starting point for tax +1 Raising Capital Gains -1 Teresa May's taste in shoes (one for the ladies there) +1 Visiting Scotland soon after attaining power to underline how relevant the Scots are to English politics -1 Not (yet) having addressed the West Lothian question. +1 Offering a vote/referendum on PR
I make that 11. Or summat.

- 11 Having Vince So Called Bloody Cable anywhere near something dangerous.
I tell you here and now Vince Cable is going to turn out to be a complete and utter disaster. God knows how this charlatan has managed to fool so many people for so long. I wouldn't trust him to sit the right way on a toilet.

Spot on about Vince Fable. Still, he might muddle through with some sensible Tories to keep an eye on him.

Hup. Added a couple of items to my scorecard, though they cancelled each other out. Coalition still sitting on 6/10, which isn't bad, given that TORIES have had their hands on (some of) the levers of power for almost a month, now.

HUP!! My scorecard now reads: +0 ... 5% pay cut for MPs. Silly gesture politics. +1 ... Tax cut for the poorest, funded by the wealthiest. good and redistributive. +1 ... The 55% rule is a good thing, would be even better at 66%. +1 ....$10 billion of new spending. Even better, it makes the Tories look like scaremongering hypocrites. -1 ... Plans to reduce the number of constituencies a VERY BAD THING. +1 ... Increasing the capital gains tax, but ... -1 ... Osbourne trying to hold off on it, pandering to wealthy Tories. -1 ... Cutting business tax. Don't these fuckers know there is a DeT MowTIN? -1 ... Hague's empty words on IDF killings. After ripping off our passports, why are we still talking to these murderous savages? +1 ... Opening the books on spending. Possibly just to humiliate the last administration, but still a good move towards openness. -1 ... Cameron and Osborne going overboard with the debt crisis rhetoric. Don't they realize they've won the election and have to actually act responsibly, now? -1 ... Not changing the CGT rates to match income tax rates.
OVERALL: 4/10 - the coalition slips into negative territory for the first time, following the eminently foreseeable decision not to make Capital gains Tax rates the same as income tax rates. they should consider themselves lucky not to lose another point for the suggestion that parity in the tax rate would be 'punishing' savers.

Hup. The coalition now stands at 4/10, as tory policies start to predominate.
