Another step on what’s looking like the inevitable road:
“David Cameron and Nick Clegg have ordered the creation of a beefed-up policy unit at 10 Downing Street to tighten their grip on government and act as an engine for ideas for the coalition in the second half of this parliament.
…
Their desire jointly to develop new policies for 2012-15 will encourage those such as Sir John Major, the former Tory premier, who want the coalition to last beyond the next election.”
