what's the *worst* downside of him being PM.

He's a Tory!

But seriously, he's got a reasonable face but behind him are all the old faces from the Thatcher government. Nothing in his party has changed one bit, they still want to cut taxes for the rich and reduce programmes that aid the poor. In the European Parliament, his party are aligned with some truly appalling scumbags, Polish homophobes and holocaust deniers and etc. I'm hoping alliance with the much more left-leaning LibDems will be sufficient of a restraining influence on his party but rather suspect the whole thing will break under the strain - but that would mean another election which the Tory's might win outright and that would be well scary.

The next few months are going to be very interesting. :)
