Peter said, "lib dems would not go into a coalition with tories. there is no common ground." I wouldn't be so sure. People are making noises about charlie, and others in the party are keener for it to happen: "In a recent pamphlet, Mr Cable wrote: "If the pendulum swings, it may swing to a combination of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats and, thus, to a period of minority government or coalition, in some form." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4246080.stm Also the Tories are talking about it: "He also suggested it was possible there could be a coalition between the Conservatives and Lib Dems in the future." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4269904.stm It might seem unlikely, but it really wouldn't suprise me. "There's no reason why that should be out of the question," he said. "If you end up with a hung parliament, there is either a minority government, which is unwieldy, or a coalition. You deal with what the electorate gives you."
