Lib Dems want electoral reform to play ball.
Dave should offer the single transferable vote (STV) to them if they agree to support Scottish independence. Then the Scots and the English get the governments they want.
The Scots will be run by Labour with SNP as their main opposition. And rid of the Tories. They will also have their own economy to manage as they see fit.
The English will be run by Tories with LibDems and Labour fighting it out to be their main opposition. As Lib Dems and Labour are both fighting for the same leftish ground, the STV will give the Lib Dems more Labour seats than they would otherwise get.
What could be happier all round?
