So Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg gets to choose the next prime minister of Great Britain. And what a devil of a choice it is too!
For Labour:
Labour is more likely to grant Clegg his party’s most desired wish: a change in the electoral system to enhance minority party chances. Aligning with Labour confirms the Lib Dems as a party of the Left, which is where most present (and all potential) future Lib Dem voters are found. A desperate Gordon Brown will gladly name Clegg to any job he wishes: Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary, just name it! Given Gordon Brown’s disconnect with English (as opposed to British) voters, Clegg could even imagine that a Lib-Lab coalition might again establish his party as the dominant party of anti-Conservatism south of Scotland and east of Wales.
