May the 16th is Akshaya Tritiya day one of the most auspicious days for Hindus to marry. It certainly has been auspicious for the wedding industry in Mumbai where there have been 50 000 weddings alone today!
On the subject of "love in"s Lib Dem activists have backed the new Coalition deal "overwhelmingly" according the the BBC. This goes some way to filling the expected cracks facing the party exemplified by Charles Kennedy's interview with the Observer this morning.CK was critical of the direction of travel. It is very early days and there is still a need to sell this to the Lib Dem supporting portion of the public and those who may vote Lib Dem in the future. We have some time to do that but some quick wins would be welcome.
I couldn't help noticing that this was the first election I can remember where the media did not run many (or any) split stories. The theory being that a "House Divided" will fall. The split party always loses. I am struggling to recall any such stories this time about any of the major parties.
The end of a truly extraordinary week involved the Milliband brothers taking sibling rivalry to new heights by challenging each other for the Leadership of the Labour Party. Brotherly love eh! That's a subject for a future post!
Back to "old clothes and porridge" this week with various committee meetings lined up. A busy week is on the cards. Happy days.
