Would the lib dems ever pull out of the coalition and unite with labour?
Nope, and it’s the same reason they don’t just leave the coalition for their own sake. Leaving the coalition now would probally force a general election, the Lib Dems are still unpopular and would be punished at the polls. The Conservatives know this, and know their own position would probally improve in a general election but there isn’t any rush since they already hold power. I doubt Labour would associate themselves with the Lib Dems now. The Lib Dems might be able to salvage some support by the next general election but they will really need something special to happen, like the Falklands did for Thatcher. I used to support the Lib Dems, but won’t ever again due to local issues where i live. The University fees stuff has put me off aswell. I’ll probally vote Green party at the next election, maybe Labour.
