Traditionally they are the two most juxtaposed parties in mainstream politics here.
The Tories are very conservative, and the Lib Dems are (well, maybe were? Labour now?) the most progressive party in the country.

I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,
and unapologetically we'll stand behind each word."

I think they were going for the shortened version of Richard.

the Conservatives are considered Center Right, Labour is Center Left and Lib Dems are Far Left.

sooo, they've been merged... I'll use a diagram to show my findings.

Well done gentlemen (and ladies), we have another labour goverment....

Well...the PM is a Conservative, and the Deputy PM is a LibDem.

I give this Parliament till the end of summer :p

That bad?

there are small sticking points like conservative are quite strongly anti EU (European union) and lib dem traditionally are strongly pro EU, they also tend to differ on points like funding of and/or privatisation of public services with taxation being another point of conflict so i forsee a good number of back bench rebellions from both parties especially on economic reform needed to get this country back on track and get the deficit under control

In American politics, it's like having Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh both in the White House.

No, its like having Michael Moore and George W. Bush in the White House.  Cameron has said he's a "compassionate conservative", just like George W. Bush said he himself was.  Hopefully the Conservatives in Parliament won't be as keen to spend money as the GOP was when Bush was in office.

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Actually, the way British Politics are supposed to work, Libs are centre, with Labour left and Conservative to the right, if anything Liberal has actually leaned slightly towards the Right over the years rather than the Left.

The power balance in the UK goes something like (from Left to Right):-

Socialists....Unionists....Labour....Liberal....Tories....UKIP ....BNP

So, no I don't think it's 'another Labour Government' at all.
