Because of our rather quaint First Past The Post electoral system, we don't have much experience with political alliances and coalitions, which are common in Europe and elsewhere. If this was in any country with PR nobody would bat an eyelid at -shock horror- 2 political parties using the old "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" motive.
