lizzie_and_ariJust thinking about the whole coalition government.
What actually happens if they don't agree?
eg: With the whole student fees issue, if the Tories were 100% committed to go ahead, but the Lib Dems were sticking to their principles and saying no, how would that actually work? Do they just vote differently on the bill when it is proposed, and then the Tories are less amenable to stuff the LDs want? Or can the LDs say 'this is a deal breaker, we're going to walk away from the whole thing'? And what then? A re-election?
And say if there were an even bigger issue that suddenly came in - eg a war? Are the LDs locked into the coalition regardless, now?
