What I mean by that is that the coalition you put forward there has a major problem... none of the consituent parties can deliver on their maifesto. So what you have is a coalition government that is not going to deliver what it promised to its voters. For instance... what if you voted Lib dem on the 2 big issues of electoral reform and immigratioin... those two then issues then get dropped as a condition of the coalition (EXTREMELY likely)? How does this coalition then represent what you voted for? My point is that it isnt MORE democratic or MORE representative.... it is just another way of forming governments. |
Realistically, the Lib Dems will get exactly zero of their main policies enacted, and a couple of unimportant ministerial posts. The Liberals' negotiating position is not strong because the Conservatives could feasibly run a minority government with the DUP (who would only require than Northern Ireland spending remains high as a precondition).
It will be a Conservative government plus the occasional yellow logo in the background.
