Unpicking the Lib-Con coalition

Which best describes your feelings for the new Lib Dem - Tory coalition government now that it's been running for a while?

Tuesday 11 May 2010

The (Labour) Party's over. We'll have a Lib-Con deal within 24 hours

This blog's call:

Lib Dem MPs will now bow to the arithmetically inevitable, tuck in behind their leader Nick Clegg, and - reluctantly - back a Lib Dem - Tory deal.

If they'd done this 24 hours ago there would have been a lot of goodwill on the Conservative side. The shenanigans of Clegg's last-ditch flirtation with a de-Browned Labour Party have will have soured things, though - with who-knows-what consequences for the long-term stability of the coalition.
