Whatever deal is reached, I suspect we're going to see quite a few MPs moving from one party to another.

Great stuff. :D

    I can't really think of anyone who would do that at the moment.

    I have fantasies of Ed Balls trying it and being prodded away by a sea of 40-foot barge-poles.

    I think we're in for a few years of changes.

    I could see a number of minor LibDems declaring themselves Independent LibDem if either coalition comes off.

    And if we end up with a Con minority government, I could see a few LibDems crossing over having had a whiff of power.

    A self-serving opportunist if ever there was one.

    He has been rather quiet this week so far. Probably getting used to making his own soup. Or was that Liam Byrne

    Probably the last person the Tory party would allow to rejoing them.

    I'd take Kaye Hoey and Frank Field form Labour and David Laws from the Lib Dems.
