I voted no. I didn't vote for the Conservaties, I did for the Liberal Democrats, and while I disagree with a lot of what the government does it's silly to chuck them out after less than a year. The questions of legitimacy are off the mark as well, if anything this government is more representative than prior ones, the combined vote share is over 50% which not even Labour got in '97.

I don't like the cuts, and I think that the government is cutting more than they need to because they are ideologically in favour of smaller government and lower taxes and the recession and public acceptance for dealing with the economic situation gives them perfect cover.
