Comment on Election 2010 Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government by David.

The country would be led by one party (Labour) in coalition with others.

Even though I’m a Labour voter I don’t want to see a coalition this way (it will be weak government), I’d have been very happy with a Labour and Lib Dem coalition with a combination of the two easily resulting in a majority, but not Lab, Lib and pretty much everyone else except the Conservatives that barely creates a majority, it’s bound to fail when those within the rainbow coalition demand too much for their support or individual MPs say no to specific policies etc…

I’d rather see a Conservative led coalition that will be blamed for the austerity measures and Labour can concentrate on the next general election.
