Unless they pull full electoral reform out of the hat then I will not vote Lib Dem until this sell out generation are gone. It does seem a taste of power wins out over principles.
I can only assume the Tory offer of a referendum on AV remains on the table. We'll find out the full details tomorrow to see if that's been upped to full PR.
The question is if AV is enough to carry the LibDem voters, and if the LibDems getting multiple other policies on many other fronts through is worth the price of losing the chance of full PR, given that full PR may have not been achievable in any case with either Labour or the Tories.

Nope. The Tories can form a minority government and risk the danger of collapsing.
