Welcome to Suburban Central

The blogosphere is a disparate and wonderful thing, filled with views and opinion from across the spectrum; some well honed, others rough and ready. Suburban Central comes from a standpoint - conservative with a small c - and from a pro-business, libertarian and suburban perspective. The suburbs are a wonderfully British thing; a mixture of urban convenience and density with rural tones where the pleasures and issues of the environment and open spaces are mixed with a physical closeness to our neighbours which make for a blend of views.

So this addition to the blogosphere is aimed at representing something which is a blend of the above. That sounds blurred until you realise that it is where the bulk of people in Britain today live and so is where the majority of us are from, not just geographically but culturally and politically too.

Suburban Central welcomes views from all standpoints and none, from those in the suburbs - however they are defined - and from inner city and rural communities, who want to comment on the issues that impact that well hackneyed phrase; middle Britain.

Who should form our next government?

Gordon goes home?

Apparently Gordon Brown has gone back to his constituency in Scotland after the VE day celebrations in Whitehall. Given the news that Clegg and Cameron had an amicable face to face meeting tonight, it may be that even in the depths of the Brown bunker, there are dawning thoughts that a Tory-Lib Dem arrangement seems to be progressing. If that is the case, who could blame Brown if he decided to go back to his constituency to gather his thoughts.

Lets be honest, Labour will want to see signs of fracture between the Lib Dems and Tories; disagreement between the blues and the yellows would, after all, mean room for Brown. If Clegg and Cameron are meeting in person, that tends to suggest that at the very least, things are not progressing badly. Why would they meet if their senior teams were not finding some room to suppose this might come together? As Clegg and Cameron come together in London is the Prime Minister's trip to Scotland a prelude to exile?
