I dont really understand the concern in the fact that you now have a coalition, some of the best things in this budget were brought about because of the lib deb influences here.

I perhaps jumped at the housing benifit a little too soon and after looking up London house for rent prices I think your right a house in london is a reasonable price at that amount, but other parts of the country are weighted at the same amount.
The concern over the coalistion is what will happen in the next general election? I think, as I said before that a government needs more than one term to make a difference. If this coalition government gets 2 terms, great, but it's up to the country and the lib dems & tories to decide if they'll do that.

And yes...without going and looking for it, one of my posts definitely credits the Lim Dems in this budget. I said that I think they have had a massive influence on the protection of the lower income families.
