BoJo, next?

Boris Johnson has now become an MP, I wonder if now he will end up with a cabinet job at a future date?

Time will tell but I do not entirely accept that premise, as discussed in one of the many other threads on this subject.

We shall see…….

Indeed many questions for a majority government of that’s what we get. It will be interesting to see how Cameron operates without his hands being tied.

It may well be that he is more tied up by a small majority of his own than in a coalition where the LibDems bent over backwards in most areas to keep him sweet and he can’t use the threat of his ‘partners’ not accepting loony policies to hold his own troops back like he could before. Again, I do hope so.

More importantly, will the legal ‘ring fencing’ of foreign aid be repealed ?

I doubt it as it was a Dave pledge, not a Lib Dem one. We can but hope it survives. OK, I hope it survives.

More importantly still, will defence expenditure be legally ‘ring fenced’ to a minimum of 2% of GDP ?

Without any doubt I would have thought…..but after next year’s Mayorial Election I would guess. Wonder if the fixed term parliament act will be annulled….
