I’m not being negative here, but Lib Dems should learn from the Irish Greens’ experience going in to coalition with FF.David Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074466074735623957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-10073586783895500722010-04-19T09:05:54.555+01:002010-04-19T09:05:54.555+01:00Hi David

The electorate is in a mood to rebel, so hopefully they will stay with it.<br />My only worry is that the LDs will lose the commitment to RP (or should that be STV) in the negotiations for coalition.<br />Regards<br />RichardDocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-41931207908123655212010-04-17T21:27:22.217+01:002010-04-17T21:27:22.217+01:00There is a BPIX poll in tomorrow’s Mail on Sunday ...There is a BPIX poll in tomorrow’s Mail on Sunday puts the Liberal Democrats in the lead! CON 31%(-7), LAB 28%(-3), LDEM 32%(+12). Sadly I don’t think it will last.<br /><br />Talking about PR in the past has always sounded both self-serving and boring. Yet if the UK voted this way the Lib Dems would get the smallest of number of MPs and Labour the largest. Suddenly people are waking up to the fact that the FPTP system is frankly corrupt. <br /><br />So thanks for being gracious to Nick Clegg, and avoiding the churlishness of some Greens. If (and it is still a big if) Clegg kicks down the door, Greens will be coming through too.<br /><br />(Thanks for the info BTW, must talk after the election about Equality Trust group for the SW).David Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074466074735623957noreply@blogger.com
