would be totally unstable and screw england as the price to incl welsh scots and irish national parties would be to give them the light end of the forthcoming budget cuts.
nick clegg and his negotiating team knows this, but he has to be seen to be paying lip service to his grass roots ideological tribalist brigade, whom cant stomach a tory linkage.
but excuse me, screw them.
if dogsey polls are a good berometer of national opinion, the lib dem voters want them allied with cameron/tory, not brown, even as 'until september brown', nor just another unelected labour party PM.
Cameron and his team have defied their own ideologues and tribalists and have been very compromising.
he is offering exactly the same referendum with exactly the half measure toward PR - Alternative Vote - that labour are offering, which is a good first step on the road to full PR.
we need Vince Cable in the treasury team
