The LibDems spent decades in the political wilderness and it was only because of a hung parliament that they now find themselves back in power. However, the prospect of them staying in power seems a fair likelihood.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has talked openly about the prospect of a coalition with Labour after the next general election.
He told a BBC documentary that Labour had changed and was realising it might have to share power with others.
The deputy prime minister also said the Conservatives needed to re-engage with mainstream voters.
So, no matter who you vote for you get the LibDems. Nice. Also, bearing in mind people are not voting for them in their droves – Ukip is hammering them as well as the other two in by elections, any lack of engagement on Cameron’s part is moot – Clegg needs to think about that glass house he inhabits.
