This springs to mind:

Nice try to spin. His party, with him at the helm, gained the largest amount of votes nationally and the largest amount of seats. The result being that a coalition with his party as the main group can be formed. Not quite the same as a transfer of power without even an internal party election mid way through parliament.
As said above your tribalism cheapens the discussion. Even I at my most tribal did not go as far as saying that nothing Labour ever did was decent, truthful or honourable, quite the opposite I have complimented them on some of their achievements. You are simply not open to any kind of discussion on this matter as you are so stubbornly anti-Tory.
It's amusing that in other threads you criticise people for being prejudiced, etc, yet make comments like the above. A comment from the BBC page comes to mind.

I certainly hope that the new government will try to reach out to as many people as possible, especially the large number of people who evidently still believe that there is no point in voting in UK elections. If I have one question for all those people on the so-called "left" it's "what about all the people who disagree with you? They never really seem to have an option other than "agree with us, or be shouted down/ignored" And that's "progressive politics" ?

These past few days have been largely statemanship and good politics at its' finest. Two not necessarily compatible parties coming together, accepting differences, compromising and hammering out a way forward despite, not because of, party views as opposed to Labour taking a similar view to the one in the quote above and essentially offering the Lib Dems their manifesto.
The same inflexibility you show with your unwavering belief that you're right was the same one Labour showed by all accounts, and is one of the reasons they are now the opposition despite the unwavering support of their Tory-hating base.
I'm sure I've asked this before but I'll ask again - what is the nature of your business? What do you do / produce? Is it something that will suffer under ConLib such as, I don't know, CCTV cameras or advanced biometrics, maybe DNA profiling equipment?
