It is my contention that had the Lib Dems won enough seats, together with Labour, to form a working Lib/Lab coalition they would almost certainly be working now towards that aim.
However, it appears that a Lib/Lab pact does not have, combined, a working parlimentary majority.
If the Lib Dems back Labour, refusing to work with the Tories, and the attempt fails a new election must be called.
Under these circumstances a large majority of the electorate would fully understand the Tories assertion that a vote for the Lib Dems is, infact, a vote for a corrupt Labour Government.
It would be a betrayal of the majority of the British people which would, no doubt, express itself in a massive loss of votes for the Lib Dems in any subsequent election.
Will the Lib Dems betray the British people?
They must think very carefully about what they do next.
