Richard Seymour of <a href="http://leninology.blogspot.com/2010/05/oh-what-fuck.html"Lenin's Tomb</a> wrote this in response to the prospect of a Tory/Lib Dem coalition: <i>Nick Clegg talking about a coalition with the Tories? Are you fucking serious? I see on Sky News that this is the result the bankers wanted, and that share values have gone up, but it's definitely not the result that most Lib Dem voters wanted. It just goes to show that anyone who believed that the Liberals were a progressive alternative was being sold a pup. The Liberals are run by the most right-wing faction, the Orange Book crowd, and an alliance with Thatcherites is entirely natural for them. So much for all their blustering over the bankers. So much for the Liberals taking Labour's place as the Tories' "progressive" opponent. So much for the progressive alliance for the 21st Century. Seriously, dude, fuck the Liberals.</i> But then, Lenin is a disgruntled leftie who (like me) would like to see the status quo challenged from the left rather than the right. Mr. Clegg still has time to take a principled stand. And Labour in opposition just might begin to think of civil rights and let its left put pressure on a Tory government. But yet, speculation may be evil at so early a time. I for one would like your thoughts on the British elections. if you find time somewhere.

I do not wish to argue on this subject, as it is much less relevant for me (living in Denmark as I do) than for people living in Britain. I'm interested in Cory's or other's thoughts on the civil rights aspects of the result. To my own comment, #3:
