What is happening to policy making?

The processes that supposedly underpin policy making in this coalition government appear to have completely broken down during the summer break.  The milk 'U-turn' and graduate tax double 'U-turn' are cases in point - Ministers and No.10 are completely unco-ordinated, ideas are being floated willy-nilly only to be slapped down only to be resurrected.

This is pandemonium!

The country needs better government than this; I hope things calm down ahead of the Spending Review.  The government appears to be campaigning rather than governing and we risk the same 'non-debate' over spending cuts that we had during the election.
