@Machina: Indeed, I think it's quite apparent, now, that the Lib Dems are here to stay. I'm obviously happier about the situation than you (giving that, like Pyro as Bill, I think the Con-Lib coalition is the closest thing this country has to a decent political party).
However, I will say one thing: if the Lib Dems do get more of their own ways, and we see further devolution - particularly in England, then the affairs of Westminster won't be as important to us, any more. I mean if English education and health is in the hands of an English Assembly, or perhaps even regional Assemblies of England - then those areas will pretty much always be dealt with by Conservatives/right-winged Liberal Democrats. I mean, I don't know whereabouts in the UK you're from. But, I'm from South-East England - if that area had its own Assembly... even UKIP would have decent representation in there.
