I agree that's probably the pragmaic answer.

I have often thought that Labour and the Tories are most suited to a grand coalition rather than either with the LibDems. The prospects of this are slim however with so many members of each party hating the other.

Personally I think we should support whichever party gets the most votes on an issue by issue basis provided we could support their Queen's Speech.

That way a hung parliament with a Tory minority government would hopefully abolish ID cards etc yet we wouldn't be obliged to support them on things we disagree on (and we won't have the prospect of disunity over joining a government with either party - I cannot stomach a coalition with Labour at the moment, and the Tories are not our natural allies at the moment - despite some areas of similarity and some historical links (Churchill, Lib-Tory pacts to keep Liberal seats etc)
