Yet so far the UK coalition government has been (in my and most of my friends view) quite alot better than either Conservatives or Labour would have been alone.

- notahacker 16y agoThe advantage of a coalition between two parties that have been traditionally opposed is that they have to try to resolve their differences rather than simply using them as a stick to beat each other with. The political system in the UK is somewhat different in that its tending towards three major parties who are converging on the political centre (complicated and fragmented further by the popular regional parties in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Not sure it works the same when it's a straight fight between the red corner and the blue corner.
