no. we wont get the system changed with that pact. not at-fucking-all. and the libdems only have 57 seats as opposed to the cons 306, they won't get a fuckin' look in. it would be a weakass pact and it wouldn't last. the only good thing about it would be that people would realise that ALL the major parties are absolutely useless.
people have this illusion that the lib dems are somehow a leftist party. nope. they brag about being more thatcherite economically than cameron. they are free marketers, like all the major polticians. which is a position about as valid in reality as an the facist dreams of an alzhiemeric kis in a retirment home. they are centre right. you'd get some slivers of soft left social stuff with them, like they're slightly cooler than labour on gay issues. they aren't overt racists like the tories- you get the kind of soft left position im talking about here. but you won't get anything really substantial from them. they are pro afghanistan war ffs! not going to be on the side of the workers in any strike situation either.
the answer to all these questions is called greece and i heartily endorse you keep your eyes on whats happening over there.
i have these beautiful dreams of the daily mail office burning to the ground...
