There is absolutely no chance of the Lib Dems teaming up with Labour in the event of a hung parliament. The Lib Dems have enough sense to realise that it would be political suicide in the long term to be seen to be propping up a worn-out and unpopular government that has just lost an election.

This is why the SNP is running Scotland at the moment - Labour and the Lib Dems have enough seats between them to have continued in office but the Lib Dems walked away from it.

Sorry to burst your perpetual Labour fantasy Damien, but you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that very soon, they are going to be out of office.
