The pollster Peter Kellner needs to get out more. He popped up on The Politics Show calling the Lib Dems “a left-of-centre party” which “everyone knows” would go into coalition with Labour rather than the Tories in the event of a hung Parliament.
Well, it might look that way in the leafier parts of London and its environs. But plenty of places are now run by the Lib Dems, who are notable for their fanatical cutting and privatising ways, and for the ethnic cleansing of council tenants to make way for a better, more Lib Dem-inclined, class of voter.
Coalition with them would split Labour, just as, for other (though not unconnected) reasons, it would split the Tories. A hung Parliament looks increasingly likely. But by far its most likely result would be that which exists routinely in local government, and still just about manages to run Germany: a coalition between Labour and the Tories. After all, why not?
