As it says on the tin, what would the effects have been if there had not been a Con-Lib coalition government after the 2010 uk election? Let's say the Tories draw a tad more from Labour and set up either a majority government or a government along with either the DUP or UUP. How would this effect things differently, for the Tories and the Liberal Democrats, the latter of whom are avoided the tuition fees failure and other embarrassing marks on their party? Without a junior scapegoat, can the Tories survive in the government? Would Cameron attempt to hold off as long as possible for an election ala Major? What position would the Lib Dems be in for the next election?
