679Matthew Parris, ancien parlementaire conservateur, signe une chronique absolument extasiée pour commenter, le 13 mai 2010, dans le Times, le nouveau gouvernement LibDem-Tory, avec David Cameron comme Premier ministre et Nick Glegg comme vice-PM. Le sous-titre vous dit déjà l’humeur de Parris : «It almost felt as if a divine hand was at work, bringing together two men to blow away years of staleness.».
…Effectivement, c’est confirmé, Dieu est bien de la partie, malgré les convictions en demi-teinte de Cameron et un athéisme hautement proclamé de Nick Clegg. Disons que nous aurons ainsi un excellent équilibre, si Dieu s’avère être le vice-vice-PM de la bande.
«Call me hysterical, but I was conscious yesterday of something approaching a philosophical spasm. Hardly a breeze stirred the fresh green of the spring foliage on the trees behind the lecterns in the Downing Street rose garden as a new Prime Minister and a new Deputy Prime Minister, each from a different party, took their press conference; but there was a kind of violence in the air. The violence was not between them, but between them and our traditionally adversarial party politics. In their very concord lay the violence.
»It was like witnessing a coup. Millions of viewers will have shared my impression almost of watching two men staging a putsch against their own parties, against the entire British political system, and against the ingrained assumptions of more than a century of parliamentary government. “Think again,” said the moment. […]
»…It borders on the supernatural. No imaginable electoral outcome could have more intelligently designed for the shape and tone of the government these two men already wanted to lead; no outcome could more securely have protected them from enemies within their own ranks.
»Asked whether he had any religious belief, our new Prime Minister once replied that his faith was “a bit like the reception for Magic FM in the Chilterns: it sort of comes and goes”. If so, Mr Cameron should this weekend be experiencing a massive surge in signal strength.
»Asked the same question, Mr Clegg replied that he had no belief in a god at all. Nor do I. But as constituency results came in on Friday, it emerged that the Great Returning Officer in the sky had given the Liberal Democrat leader the opposite of what he wanted, but exactly what on Sunday and Monday he would need. If God does not exist then — in light of the hidden hand that events have placed on the shoulders of these two new leaders, paving their way and staying their enemies — Nick Clegg and David Cameron may this weekend think it necessary to invent Him.»
