Although a coalition between Lab and Lib Dem did last in Soctland for 8 years, they are an unscurpulous lot though the Lib dems and of course we do have this example of the 1970s as well. They will do whatever they think brings them the most advantage
I think we will see a voting colaition between Lab and Lib Dem on the new EU treaty as regards blocking any Tory ammendement on a referendum.
