Yesterday’s Queen’s Speech, however, reminds us that the Coalition can boast genuine achievement on a scale most governments would envy. It has changed Britain for the better. Of course, it would be a mistake to give in to complacency: Clem Attlee was thrown out by the voters after just five years, while Margaret Thatcher was dispatched by her own side. But this Coalition has lasted far longer than most of us expected. And it has achieved far more than we thought it would. It won’t be with us much longer and now is the time to recognise the scale of its achievement.
