it's the only one that actually makes any sense

at least that's what i was being told by Simon Scharma on Radio 4 this morning

a Tory minority government with Lib Dem support on legislation by legislation basis - it'll hopefully temper the worst of the Tory cuts, but still allow the necessary decisions on the economy to be taken - and it's on the economy that i think the Lib Dems and the Tories are probably much closer together than many realise, similarly when it comes to 'small government' and 'civil liberties' - the 2 don't strictly go hand-in-hand but often one is effected by changes in the other
