A Rainbow Coalition?

[Gromit]

// If Gordon Brown, or his successor, were able to assemble an extraordinary multicolour informal coalition of Labour, Liberal Democrats, four SDLP MPs, one Northern Ireland Alliance member, six Scottish nationalists, four Welsh nationalists and one Green, this rag-tag group would command more than the 324 votes necessary to form a majority. This is all on the shaky assumption that Labour ends up with 261 seats and the Liberal Democrats hold 54. //

Can Gordon (or his successor), pull it off?

What happend the moment there's a by election?

No the arithmetic only works one way - Tory/Lib-dem

Trouble is I'm not sure the politics works that way

[Gromit]

Oh, the Lib/Dems have shot up to 56 seats.

jake-the-peg. I cannot see it happening either, but who can say anything with certainty on this election.
