Political Deadlock- Not such a bad thing

Most commentators are predicting some kind of political deadlock after May 7 and they are likely to be right, whether it be minority government, unstable coalition or a prolonged period of uncertainty and another quick election. But is this such a bad thing? People I know who work in education or medicine find that the greatest problem they face is constant churning as new 'reforms' are introduced. The reason is often because new ministers feel they have something to prove and the only way they can do it is to push through some sort of change. Michael Gove, for example, was addicted to this trait. If we do experience a longish period of political deadlock this may come to an end and nothing will happen. Oh how these institutions crave for at least five years of no change, save perhaps for more generous funding and the training of enough good staff. Sadly no party or individual is likely to propose such a moratorium. They think there are no votes in it, so hopefully circumstances will force their hand.
