Previous hung, or minute majority governments, do not engender optimism about more compromise and discussion. Far more likely that Toady will follow past example, and promise the LibDems proportional representation, and other incentives, to gain their support. Given that they hate Tories much more than ersatz Tories (New Labour), experience suggests that they might again be stupid enough to believe promises which will disappear like scotch mist, the minute he no longer needs them.
