Cameron and Osborne... you can't trust them, say Lib Dems
Source: Daily Telegraph (UK)

Paul Burstow, the care minister, told reporters from The Daily Telegraph: “I don’t want you to trust David Cameron.” And Andrew Stunell, the local government minister, said he did not know where the Prime Minister stood on the “sincerity monitor”.

Norman Baker, the transport minister, even privately compared the Conservatives within government to the South African apartheid regime, claiming that it was his job to campaign from the “inside”.

2. Wait til the referendum on AV
If the Lib Dems lose that then there will be a chance that the coalition will fall apart.

Until then at the very least the Lib Dems are going to have to grin & bear it.

3. 6 months is more likely; and could be much longer

They will wait until the referendum on AV. After that, and especially if they lose it, there is much more likelihood of a break-up.

But we shall see. The LibDems may have already committed political suicide by joining Cameron and Osborne.
