Coalitions

So Ming Campbell has admitted that the Lib Dems are seriously considering how to handle the possibility of a hung parliament. See Iain Dale's post here.

What's really interesting is the prospect of how politicians, so used to the oppositional jousting and sparring of Westminster will handle the idea of coming together to form a genuine coalition. Are our politicians ready to put partisan loyalties to one side in order to achieve at least some of their shared goals? Who knows.

Of course, at a local level, politicians of all parties have wrestled with coalitions of the most unlikely nature for many years. We've also seen in Scotland and Wales what happens when politicians are forced by the electorate to work together.

Interesting times ahead...
