Nile, before we worry too much, let’s remember that the Lib Dems could reject the overture:
“We had an enquiry on electoral reform before and it got pigeonholed somewhere.” — Ming Campbell, former leader, Liberal Democrats
“The Lib Dems are looking for a meaningful relationship, not a one night stand. Looks like we might be remaining single, then?” — Sara Bedford, a Liberal Democrat councillor
Cameron promises “committee of enquiry” on electoral reform. “That’s what Heath said in 1974. We told him to sod off, too.” — Alex Wilcox, a Liberal Democrat blogger
