I guess you'd prefer the LibDems on the fringes of politics for another 50 years then? The LibDems think Christmas has come as they finally have a chance to influence governmental policy.

57 seats (they lost 6 I believe from last time) is a pathetic showing even with the Clegg effect. The best thing that has happened to the LibDems is a hung parliament which has given them a foot in the door.

As a Tory I would have preferred a minority government rather than have our policies diluted by a coalition, but I'm prepared to give it a chance and will reserve judgment for now.

FFS, isn't this a time to rise above party politics and think of the national interest? All this pie in the sky idealism has got the LibDems NOWHERE in the past 30 odd years, but now for once they maybe have the chance to actually make a difference. Now is not the time to put the boot in - if you want to protest, save it for the ballot box at the next election.

Or are you suggesting that you would like to see the destabilisation of the government now by withdrawing from the coalition and throwing the economy into turmoil? What would that achieve? I thought the LibDems were in favour of political reform - what better way to start than to throw two very different parties together and force them to get along and find consensus?
