With another hung parliament looking ever more likely in 2015 (Labour’s lead stands at just one in today’s YouGov poll), the question of whether Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg could ever work together is being asked again. At one point, it looked doubtful that Clegg would lead his party into the next election, but the Eastleigh by-election, the economic recovery and the wane of Vince Cable’s star have combined to create an unlikely political rebirth.
In interviews at the Lib Dem conference, Clegg, unsurprisingly, left the door open to a partnership with Miliband: “If the British people say that the most legitimate outcome of the next general election would be a Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition, of course I would be prepared to play my part in that.”
