No chance.... We would have to be under a serious, imminent threat of invasion from an IS type enemy. for the two main parties to form a coalition.

There are several different combinations of parties that could form possible coalitions, but Con/Lab isn't one of them.

Back on subject.

Cameron is prevaricating yet again. After the broadcasters agreed to include the Green party, albeit including Paid and SNP, he's now demanding that the DUP also be included in any debate. No doubt if the broacasters agree, we'll then see demands from Sinn Fein and SDLP for inclusion too.

No Northern Irish parties should be included in the British televised debates, simply because the major parties do not field candidates at all in Ireland.

He also wants the debates to take plce BEFORE the campaign is officially under way, making the spurious claim that they diverted from REAL campaigning in 2010.

The man is coming across as frightened to take the floor and open himself to any serious investigation.

No government will ever be able to comfortably achieve a working minority government.

It can work but it wouldn't be comfortable and would be very difficult to maintain.
