He may have trouble with that - the political pendulum in this country is such that Tories and Labourites alike know that, sooner or later, they will get their chance to run the country with a good majority in the Commons. I suspect there will be many in his party who would rather endure the occasional spell in the political wilderness than the spectre of permanent coalition and compromise.
