Fraser Nelson anticipates the hell awaiting a Tory government:
Chancellor Osborne's set of choices will be hideous. And deeply unpopular. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governor of California. His state is going bankrupt, yet he's quaking at the idea of cuts. Even the Terminator can't bring himself to terminate the wasteful spending. He's made timid cuts that won't save his budget.
Already, the Tories are picturing all this — and quaking too. The first to feel the pinch may be Boris Johnson, London Mayor. He's up for re-election in 2012. "But by then," a senior Tory told me, "Cameron's cuts will be in full flow. It'll be war with unions. "Imagine it – teachers on strike. Nurses protesting in the streets. Litter uncollected. No Tory could be elected then."
Never mind, there would always be a job in the cabinet. Oh, hang on, though...
