An interesting but fatally flawed statement, highlighting only the "mad dog knee jerk" reactions of the OP.

Firstly the Tories (whom nobody, according to the thread title, likes) polled more votes than any other party.

Secondly, the Liberal Democrats were willing to join them in a coalition government.

Thirdly, New Labour is in fact making very little inroad into their opinion poll lead.

Now you will undoubtedly say that they didn't have a majority of the popular vote.

True, but in a straightforward response to the question "Do you want to change the voting system?", the people of this country answered with a resounding "NO"! That was a majority.

In both cases, it is self evident that more people that the Tories are liked by more people than any other party.

The OP's proposition is therefore soundly defeated by a simple examination of the facts, and this thread is, ipso facto, arrant bloody nonsense.
