A secret deal to make Caroline Lucas Prime Minister in event
of hung parliament is a logical and welcome breakthrough for British politics.
Rumours of secret talks between SNP and Labour have been
denied by both parties, but investigative reporting by the Morning Star has
revealed that plans are well under way to forge a SNP/Labour/Green/Plaid Cymru
coalition in the event of a hung parliament on May 7th.
The mutual loathing between Ed Miliband and SNP leader
Nicola Sturgeon has been a log jam in talks by senior officials, but the secret
deal that has been hammered out is seen as the only workable solution. In the
event of a hung parliament, Green MP Caroline Lucas is to be announced as Prime
Minister. She is seen as the only MP to command enough respect among both SNP
and Labour party members of parliament.
This ground breaking decision will cement a Labour/SNP/Plaid
Cymru/Green coalition that may be on the only way to shut out another
Conservative/Lib Dem coalition.
The Green party are also denying that these talks have taken
place, but will be delighted that Mrs Lucas could play such a role in a future
government.
‘Caroline has worked so hard to gain such support, not only
during 5 years in in the House of Commons, but also whilst serving the country as a Member of the European Parliament’ a senior
Labour politician admitted yesterday. ‘She has spent years building credible
coalitions across Westminster, and is seen as the only person who could hold a
Labour/Nationalist/Green coalition together’.
A poll of Labour MP’s shows that if they cannot achieve an outright
victory in the general election, Ed Miliband will not have enough support to
continue as prime minister of a coalition government. He is likely to accept
the role as deputy prime minister with Nicola Sturgeon becoming the Minister
for Scotland. The costly Trident Nuclear programme will almost certainly be the
first casualty of such a coalition.
Jim Murphy is said to be furious at news of the deal, having
been left out of the loop by senior Labour Party officials. He is said to be
considering crossing the floor and joining the Conservative Party if such a
deal takes place after 7th May. ‘Good riddance’ claimed outspoken Labour
MEP Lora Ploif, ‘He’s been stinking up the place with his Blairite politics since
becoming leader in December, haemorrhaging working class support for the Scottish
Labour Party.’
All this is great news for the British Left/Green community.
Let’s all hope for a breath of fresh air in the British Political System this
May!
