his Liberal Democrats could support a minority Conservative government after the next election, if David Cameron proposes genuinely “liberal” reforms in areas such as civil liberties, public service reform and the environment.
The Lib Dem leader on Friday sets out conditions under which his party would back the first Queen’s Speech of a minority government if the next election produced a hung parliament.
A dangerous course for the Lib Dems to be following and according to political betting.com
This is getting onto tricky territory and, clearly, Clegg is using his honeymoon period to get controversial ideas out early. It’s much harder to oppose a leader in his first six months than later. Certainly his predecessor, Ming Campbell, ran into serious trouble eleven months ago when at a conference in Harrogate he gave the strong impression that there could be no deals with the Tories.
No more so than the fact that Lib Dem voters are seen as being more anti Tory than anti Labour.If a vote for the party is seen as letting the Tories in,especially in the margibnalconstituencies,will there supporters desert to Labour in 2010?
