One person is hardly indicative of the entire support. Besides I would suggest he was arguing for no alliance at all, which I admit would be a waste, rather than him suggesting the Lib Dems should control everything.

Agreed. I would suggest a lot of Lib Dems voters went for Voting Reform and Civil Liberties, the latter already supported by the Tories. So give them for the former in return for support on the rest of the Tories policies.
