    @ReggieHere @thecasualcritic @ChrisMayLA6 That was a #TonyBlair / #PaddyAshdown idea in the mid-1990s, known as "The Project". It seemed to offer a remedy to the problem of #Tory electoral dominance on 45% of the votes.

    Its fatal flaw was that it misunderstood the #LibDems. A big chunk of LibDems really were liberals who hated Labour's authoritarianism. Another chunk of LibDems are ideological anti-socialists, who in 2010 were comfortable in the #ConDem coalition with the #ConservativeParty.
