Wonderful. I don't think so. Alex Salmond has already said he'd support a Lib-Lab gov. The SNP and Plaid Cymru are both left of centre, and would rather support such a government than see the tories in office.

Better than that. Conservatives and Labour. With Brown gone shirly they can reach agreement. Being so similar post Thatcher. -- Hog

It works for the Germans among others. -- Malc Rusted and ropy. Dog-eared old copy. Vintage and classic, or just plain Jurassic: all words to describe me.

It works for the Germans among others. Our political system is based on conflict. This is the first time since the war that the main parliamentary parties have had to sit down and negotiate with each other on a broad basis and they're simply not used to it. One problem we have is that there are three significant parties involved. It means the two big boys are fighting over the attentions of the the popular girl from the year below. It's like a divorcing couple fighting over the affections of the family dog - he waves Winalot, she offers sausages, what the dog wants is a juicy steak. -- ogden | gsxr1000 | rgv250

We already have a system that relies on coalition. The two political parties that count for anything in our system are both a coalition of ideas and aspirations gathered from the centre ground of their respective standpoints. Do you want your government to be broadly leftish thinking or broadly right is the coalition choice already on offer. > It works for the Germans among others.
