I don't disagree but surely some flack has to be taken for enabling a Tory government to get into power in the first place. Surely the bigger hit they could have taken for 'the team' would have been not to jump at the first chance to be part of a majority government.
They could have formed a minority government with Labour or even a majority with help of the SNP etc. That decision ultimately led to the shit show we're in now...
I'm not saying the world we would be a totally awesome place now had we had a LabLib coalition instead but it's very unlikely brexit would have happened.

I know he's an easy target but I think many people underestimate just how much the Lib Dems prevented that Tory Government getting through during that coalition. (Regardless of that it was effectively a pyrrhic victory for the Lib Dems.)
I certainly don't think it was possible for the Lib Dems to stop all the Tory evil, especially as the Tories ended up pushing through pretty much what they wanted after the 2015 GE. If you go looking for perfection (especially in politics) you're going to easily find failure.
