Blue sun, orange sky... something is not right

[steepholm]

So, should I never vote Lib Dem again because they threw in their lot with the Tories? Or never vote Labour again because they threw their toys out of the pram and chose opposition rather than a progressive coalition?

I'm rapidly ceasing to care, and wishing I'd stuck to my first best instincts and voted Green.

(Either way, I don't really share the disgust that many seem to feel at the sight of the various minority parties - i.e. all of them - negotiating their way to some kind of settlement behind closed doors. What else were they supposed to do?)

I haven't been able to find detail on the five-year term. I take it that this is a pledge by Cameron not to throw the Lib Dems overboard in hopes of finding a snap election majority?

What did interest me about the Labour negotiations was the post-fallout comment by Adonis, not somebody I'd have thought had a strong animus against the Lib Dems, accusing them of not having negotiated in good faith.
