Just because there's a Con-Lib coalition in Parliament at Westminster
it doesn't mean there's going to be Con-Lib coalitions elsewhere.
There isn't going to be a Con-Lib coalition in the London Assembly
(the Lib Dems in the Assembly continue to regard themselves as part of
the opposition),

Of course, because they have no say in running things. And if they stand
against the Tories in 2012, they will continue to have no say in running
things, and there's a fair chance that the Tories will have no say in
running things either. Together they will walk it. Or cycle it.
