If the the Lib-Dems don't concede on some major issues, regardless of who they join up with, they will in effect be the one deciding all major issues whilst being the third party. Whichever voting system you use, that would not be democratic by any stretch of the imagination.

The Lib-Dems campaigned in many areas saying that they are the alternative to the party of the sitting MP. That means that many of the current votes are likely to be in 'protest' to the party of their sitting MP. Could that mean that under PR the Lib-Dems would get less votes?
