Precisely.
If they can make a pact it shows there is nothing of substance to choose between them.
Trouble with pacts with the SNP is that they, by definition, stand for getting the best for one part of the UK inevitably at the expense of the rest. Not good for a whole of the UK government, and consequently not a political block one wants to be too close too.

Your right Ludwig, the Tories and Labour have got so close it is sometimes difficult to tell them apart.
But then, that is why the fringe parties are becoming so popular - because there is little choice.
The sweaties are going to be a real problem for the rest of the UK. One way or another they will hold us to ransom for more cash north of HAdrians wall.
What a state of affairs, pity they didnt go.

I wonder how much imapct this speculation will have -- I expect there will be some floating voters who might tip back to Labour/ Tory if it means having a better chance of avoiding all of the apparent mess caused by speculation over all the possible coalitions/ minority governments that we might be left with. A Tory/ Lab coalition possibly makes a mockery of the whole process more than any other result, as NJ suggests -- but it's really too early to be discussing that as a serious option.
I agree it's unlikely ichkeria but the question was: "Would you rather ED and Dave did a deal than have the Sweaties "overhauling" us?"
I'd have to say yes, in fact I think I'd rather have a Labour governement than the sweaties lording it about no 10. Can you imagine Nicola Sturgeon as DPM! gawd help us.

The problem with the two main parties are that they are both terrified of offending anyone. They spend their political lives treading on eggshells so as not to upset any of their “core” voters or anybody whose support they are trying to gain from elsewhere..
Well they’ve certainly both achieved their aim. The Tories are not worthy of the name, being more concerned with foreign aid (sorry, I keep making the same mistake, overseas “development”) than they are about the defence of the Realm. The Labour Party has forgotten why it was formed and presents no credible opposition to the Most Vile and Evil Government the World has Ever Known (i.e. the current one).
The result is that supporters of both parties (who almost certainly make up a large majority of the electorate) have nobody to vote for. That’s why the “fruitcakes and loonies” (and the SNP) are stealing support and that’s why the next election will have a far worse outcome than in 2010. Everybody will get what nobody wants. Both parties need to resatblish themselves by appealing firstly to their traditional supporters. Then they can try to catch the floaters.
