You're right in that we don't often have coalition governments and that's because we don't have proportional representation. But remember that we did have a coalition from 2010 to 2015. The Liberal Democrat voters didn't like it which is why they have lost so much support; the rest of us did!

I haven't heard that. However someone did ask me yesterday whether I had any Irish blood in me so that I could apply for an Irish passport. So that's what he was referring to!
But no, I'm English through and through.
