It would entirely suit Balls and Milliband for this coalition to be Con / Lib.
Partly in an altruistic sense as it was recognised that a Lab / Lib coalition would be quite shaky and would involve lots of concessions to the more obscure parties and assemblies, but mostly due to the selfish reason that they would benefit from the inevitable Brown resignation, and then let the Tories & Libs manage the next two years of budget cuts and recession. Allowing them (after 2 years of snipey opposition experience) to ‘swoop’ back into power once the Lib voters had realized that the Tories were reverting back to type. I’d forgotten how entrenched some of the old Labour antipathy towards the Lib Dems is.
I’m amazed by the compromise on the detention of refugee minors though, I guess that must have been the flip side to the immigration caps.
