I think rumours of the death of the Lib Dems might turn out to be exaggerated. I think a lot of the assumption that they will end up with single figures or fewer MP’s are based on applying a universal swing to the reduction in their polling numbers. I don’t think that is a safe assumption at all.

There’s a good chance that will end up in coalition with the Labour party in 2015. Which would make them the party of government this decade.

How on earth are you going to be ineligible to vote in the next general election? Are you planning on being elevated to the Lords?
