Lib Dems: Natural Tory Allies

Although many think of the Liberal Democrats as leftwing, it occurs to me that they are actually natural Tory allies, as indeed are a number of the extreme left parties. The reason is that they compete with Labour for votes so we are their main rivals. The Tories don't threaten them in the same way. Hence, you can always rely on them to attack Labour and usually to put the Tories in power, a thought that anyone thinking about a hung Parliament might do well to ponder.
