There could be an election if Lib Dems pull out of the coalition. There is no chance they would do that. This is their only chance to be in power.

A party that campaigns for electoral reform needs to be able to prove that coalitions can provide stable governments. For them to walk out now would be even more suicidal than signing a personal pledge to vote against tuition fees and then being the person that introduces them.Comment
