As you are a clear Tory supporter and they are known for wanting to keep the outdated FPTP system, how can anyone say what they will negotiate on until they know WHO they will be dealing with. Different tactics are required for different situations. Who is to say that in a hung parliament that the Tories may offer more concessions on other Lib Dem policies but only by sacrificing PR. Given the Labour promises on PR would you trust them? So being rigid on one thing may end up with nothing, where flexibility will gain more. Would someone constantly ask DC this question - NO!
A long term goal of the Lib Dems is to WIN under the current system & then change it.
