...lol at the thought of Tories and LibDems teaming up just to cut Labour out. wtf do the two member parties of the coalition have in common, exactly?
(at least the bnp has no seats)
Basically, as a supporter of none of the three main parties (BNP ftw) I feel it's the best solution. A Labour-Lib coalition is unworkable due to the perceived low legitimacy of a ruling body that did not 'win' the election; of course, nobody did, and that's the reason owning a majority is crucial to our system, but the Conservatives are (rightly or wrongly) seen as the legitimate successors to the current government. Yet, they cannot legally (thank god) form their own government, so a compromise like this was always going to be the way (relatively) forward in a hung parliament.
Labour stay in = Nope
Conservatives take full power = Not legal
Labour-Lib coalition = Weak "coalition of the losers" subject to overpowerment by the Tories. Plus Labour and Lib Dems are fairly different in their priorities
Con-Lib coaltion = Lesser evil
Whilst it is inevitable some Tory policies I disagree with will see the light of day (and I don't trust that twat George Osborne to handle our economy with any more dexterity than a 2 year old with a chainsaw), there is a chance the tempering influence of the Lib Dems will make a few steps in the right direction. Basically, they won't let the Tories do exactly what they want whilst the Tories need them.
So really, it makes sense. Labour are no more deserving of Lib Dem support than the Tories are.
Next step: Cameron will wait until the time is right and call a general election whereupon the Tories will probably be elected fair and square.
Then god help us all
