They don't want a minority Tory government... read the wall:

"the reason i joined this group is because personally i dont think the conservatives can be trusted to stick to any deal they make with nick clegg, so if he is naive enough to listen to them then he will lose at least one vote next time round"

"I have just phoned the lib dem head office and been advised to start a facebook group so that they can get an idea of how many people object."

"Please call liberal democrats on 0207 ---- to air these views."

"come on cleggy get your act together and make a deal with Brown we dont want a Tory government if we did they would have won outright."

"Contact the Liberals now,contact your Lib Dem MP now, you have a chance to stop this NOW!"

etc...

A minority Labour government would get defeated at every vote.

And, as for your posted group 23 vs. 12,789 members..

Interesting, logical, acceptable to the conservatives who back at least a partially elected house of lords too. Drags our political system into the same millennium as other bicameral legislatures...

It's not perfect as I'd prefer the lords (with a role of scrutiny) to be elected by FPP so they have a link to their constituents and so independents can be elected easily, then the commons elected by multi members STV but that's not a change too far I fear.

I love it. As it shows them how Clegg isn't "one of them" - they were duped.

I similarly love it as the only valid alternative to ConLib is a Tory minority rule.

So what are they protesting about!??! Morons. 65% of the electorate, to be fair, didn't vote for PR.

He's being eaten alive on Sky News. Love it.

EDIT - she's menstrual. They lost - massively in fact (worse than 2005), they need to get a grip.

There's always a few idiots and tribalists. I think a lot more will see it as acting responsibly in the national interest myself...

:p

I can only see this as being a change for the better and just maybe a hung parliment will keep them all a bit more honest but time will tell I guess.

Everyone seems to have such a twisted idea of a hung parliament, it's never been good, every time has been an utter failure :p

To be fair, two in the last century isn't a massive sample to draw from. Also, what aspect of 1974 are you thinking off when you say 'utter failure'? Yes it ended in another election but it wasn't a disaster by any reasonable standard...
 
I don't want MP's making backroom deals, cherry picking the policies that they will focus on from all of their manifestos.

That's not a fairer system, it's a confused mess that wont get much done.

I'm waiting for someone to tell these people that PR would mean the BNP is the fifth biggest party in parliament, even if they'd be tiny, they'd still be there. The BNP should go and join that protest, would soon shut them up.
