Lib Dem conference: ‘We’d walk from coalition’

Liberal Democrats could opt out of coalition with either of the larger parties if next year’s general election is inconclusive, party president Tim Farron claimed yesterday.

Negotiators in any coalition talks must make clear they are ready to “walk away” if the party cannot secure its red-line priorities, Mr Farron told a meeting on the fringe of the Lib Dem conference.

He declined to mention what those red-line issues actually were.
