I am personally not averse to the notion of a coalition with the Lib Dems as long as PR for westminster is firmly off the agenda. As Hitch has intimated, you chaps could certainly tone down on the europhilia and expel the beards and sandals tendency just like Neil Kinnock did with Militant. They could all go and join the 'Liberal Party' for it still stalks the land, or at least parts of the New Forest. The Orange Bookers can come on board to our side.In coalition terms, a Lib-Lab coalition would be of painfully short duration, riven by all kinds of internal conflicts and deception by Gordo. I suspect Dave will be more prone to strike a fair deal.
