What I'm saying is, if the parties are so afraid of losing votes in the next election, they won't be willing to enter a coalition. And then there is no majority.
If I was the Lib Dems, and the Conservatives had needed 8 more seats this time, there is no way I would have entered coalition again. It would have been a death sentence.
I think that's only because this particular coalition was so utterly bizarre that it was felt to be a betrayal by Lib Dem supporters. An outlier case that, you're right, wouldn't happen again, but other coalitions would very much happen.
