Lib Dem win
Labour/Lib Dem coalition government
Is better than any government involving the Conservatives.
And despite all this you can if you want post comments supporting any political party. That’s the whole point of having open comments, they are there for debate.

Because they will have a good mix of protectiveness and progressiveness which is very much needed for UK politics right at this moment.
