Yeah exactly. I remember this because LDs were kingmaker to either Labour or Tories, and I fully expected them to go in with Labour. But as John Oliver pointed out on The Daily Show at the time, Labour had 'the loser stink' on them. LDs made mistakes while in coalition but going into coalition was not, imo, one of them.

I can't believe Brown could have expected to have carried on as leader having lost that election - I don't remember any PMs who carried on as leader after losing a general election.
