fair play

Have to say I thought LDs and cons would have come to an agreement by now. Still think it's the most likely outcome, but not by much.

Agree with you that in some ways opposition would be a more comfortable place to be. Actually I think you have to give them all a bit of credit - they know we need a government, and they're trying to form one.
