What I was trying to say was that Lib Dems could form part of a coalition, but I don't want to guess who the other parties might be. The problem really is that Labour and Conservative are now more like each other than either of them was like the Lib Dems a decade or two ago. So I feel a Lib-Lab or a Lib-Con pact is now rather unlikely. However, which of the other parties would have sufficient in common with the Lib Dems and have enough MPs for an alliance to gain a working majority is rather unclear.
