if lib dem leaders tried to go into coalition with tories, lib dem grass roots would walk out en masse. they have nothing in common with tories other than a desire for power. They are to the left of labour. in any case, if the situation arose then by definition lib dems would have a choice of which party to get into bed with (revolting thought). so why choose tory? really we need pr to bring new life into this moribund process, so that minority parties of all shades could get a say and any party with over 5% vote could have a couple of MPs. Then things would liven up. As things stand the whole bloody lot of them are becoming increasingly faceless and irrelevant, especially to the young. maybe we should adopt the old lord reith model of benign dictatorship tempered by assassination. of course, real power is no longer in westminster any way. its in multinational boardrooms. as a nation we no longer control our own country
