A Rainbow in the UK?

The Times sets the stage for an auspicious beginning:

Mr Cameron is the youngest Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812. He is a few months younger than Mr Blair was when he took up office, also aged 43.

Can you go on as you begin? Well, we're rooting for you. Give you strength beyond expectations.

Conservatives over here in America recognize this sort of character. The sometime thing Lib Dem party:

There have to be some ugly decisions taken on the economy, for the markets have made it clear that if there are not, then the currency and the stock markets will both go so far south that they will start seeing penguins.

Well, as the Iron Lady would say, this is no time to go wobbly.
