Who do you think that Clegg should go in with?

It is obvious that Labour and Tory voters each have their own ideas, but if you voted Lib Dem on May 6th, what do you think?

We're LD memebrs and in fact I was asked to stand a few eyars back (had to turn it down as found out i was pg and the lady leader lcoally ahsn't spoken to me since though so not likely to happen again!)

Although on a puely policy absed level I am not happy at teh coalition I do think the LD's have an incerdibly useful role as pain-mitigator. Cewrtainly I ahd correspondence with NC pre election and felt that his viewpoints were good hearted. How much they can put into practice balanced aginst teh fear of destabilising teh coalition, being seen as the bad guys and risking severe problems for the country as a result of a minority Government I am not certain.

I totally agree though about it being worth it to keep kids from Yarl's Wood- though am not sure deporting some to a holding house within Afghansitan is a wonderful idea, sounds like a Tory get out card to me.

Of course, another reason for the coaltion to be forced to work against political ideals would be the simple fact that a PR system results in mainly coalitions so if they / we want PR then that's what we have to persuade the electorate is feasible.

In all truth I don't think we can win here: either this works and the Tories look good, or it falls apart and we look bad. We don't have an option though- been dealt the cards of the devil.
