The uncertainty of what "Coalition Options" might be available in the event of a hung Parliament, as predicted by all the Opinion Polls, was finally avoided by the Electors !
David Cameron and his Cabinet were rewarded for their efforts during the last 5 years and this was much to the relief of the country as a whole !
The unsavoury bargaining which which takes place when a Coalition must be formed, has been avoided ! Yet before the result, every Party in this Election was sure that they could "perhaps" become part of a Coalition !
The next 5 years will not be plain sailing but they will give the Government the chance to consolidate the progress already made to restore the British Economy.
There is however one serious obstacle ! To negotiate changes to EU Treaties and their underlying principles will take time ! It is undeniable that the world has changed during the last 30 to 40 years and that changes are necessary. What is also true is that there are other countries in the EU which would back Britain.
The promise to hold a Referendum in 2017 on whether Britain should stay in the EU or leave, appears timewise, to be very optimistic !
Such negotiations will take much longer than expected because some Leaders, in particular Angela Merkel, stoically refuse to accept that any change whatsoever is necessary !
