At #GE2015 I rather expected #ConDemCoalition to continue until 2020, but of course #ConsParty got a majority and #LibDem vote collapsed, I think #DavidCameron wanted Coalition to continue, he was politically closer to #NickClegg and #DannyAlexander than to people such as #JacobReesMogg.

#GE1923 & #GE1929 both resulted in #LibLabPact, #GE2010 by #ConDemCoalition #GE2017 followed by #ConsParty pact with #DUP.

Informal coalition of #Liberals, #LabourParty & #IrishNationalists emerged in 1911, #ConsParty entered gov in 1914, in 1915 #HerbertAsquith was replaced by #DavidLloydGeorge.

#KemiBadenoch talking about compromises #ConsParty were forced into during #ConDemCoalition, fact is that that went on until 2015 and actually #DavidCameron/ #GeorgeOsborne and #NickClegg/ #VinceCable/ #DannyAlexander agreed or had very similar positions on a lot of things.
