The link purporting to show that Cameron would get an overall majority: He doesn’t provide a rationale for his method of extracting swings from by-election votes — I can’t find one on his site.
I recall when Ashdown’s autobiography came out, it said that Blair offered him a coalition in 1997, and he accepted, but the rest of the parliamentary Lib Dems (rightly, in my view) rejected it. (I didn’t read his book myself, I’m going on other people’s reports of it.)
