| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines why a Liberal Democrat-Labour Coalition did not result from inter-party negotiations after the General Election in May 2010 and whether the coalition which did emerge was based on a marriage of 'neo-liberal minds', as claimed by Andrew Adonis in his 5 Days in May (Biteback, 2013). Consideration of the available evidence, however, suggests a more nuanced conclusion. It is expected that the 2010 agreement will be revisited in preparation for a possible hung parliament in 2015. |
