And if the Labour/Liberal/regional parties coalition votes it down, what then? Only England voted Conservative. Scotland was rock-hard Labout/Liberal and Northern Ireland and Wales both have regional parties even more leftleaning than either of the two biggies. Conservatives stand alone in the UK right now and there just aren’t enough of them to go around.
But, we’ll see what happens. Hope I’m wrong.
The Lib-Dems agreed to support the Tories explicitly or abstaining from no confidence votes. Canada has had a Tory minority government for the past few years.
You write “Only England voted Conservative.”
I’m afraid even that is only half-true. About 39.5% of English voters voted Conservative. This is higher than the 36% of UK voters who voted Conservative or the 37% of Great Britain voters who did so, but it’s still clearly a minority.
