In response to peter h I would suggest that the only sensible thing to do would be to form a government with the Lib Dems. As they don't actually have any policies it wouldn't matter as long as their MP's could be discplined enough for long enough to vote for a cohesive programme. This I doubt as they are a rag bag who have almost as many "positions" as they have members. It is impossible to support the Lib Dems as they have nothing to support. They are oppositionists. Steve is right , the Lib Dems always give people what they want not what they need. That is empty populism which is why every time they form an administration it eventually ends in chaos, witness Sheffield, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bristol, Oldham.........
