A question I’d put to Nick Clegg: his party was always opposed to the invasion of Iraq. Does this mean that a Liberal Democrat government would withdraw UK troops from Iraq?
Personally I support Labour, and will vote for them at the election, but I don’t mind the idea of a Labour -Lib Dem coalition. I also think that this upcoming election represents the single best opportunity for the Lib Dems. They’re not going to form the next government by themselves. But as part of a coalition government, they’ll have the opportunity to gain some much needed experience in government, and prove themselves competent enough to form a credible government by themselves someday. As such I think Nick Clegg should be careful not to alienate Labour supporters or the Labour party too much. Tactical voting may end up playing an important part in the election. Ultimately, the Lib Dems have more in common with Labour, than they do with the Tories.
