Power failure?
It is an alliance in which, bizarrely, our unwritten constitution has done to Labour what the Liberal Democrats most object to: four million Lib Dem voters have disenfranchised six million Labour voters, when their favoured proportional representation would have put them in third, not second, place.
Power and office seem to have made them content with that injustice. It remains to be seen whether the benefits to them of our unwritten constitution will temper Lib Dem enthusiasm for changing the electoral system.
