There are enough Lib-Dems out there who totally oppose the idea of a Lib-Con pact to make things a tad tricky if the minority parties vote against the government - it would only need 20-ish Lib-Dems to go against the pact to swing a vote against them. -- SteveH

Not much point in having a majority government if your majority never comes into effect due to half your supposed allies voting against you. -- SteveH |
