An opinion poll commissioned by BBC2′s Daily Politics Show has found that Liberal Democrat activists want Nick Clegg to support the Labour Party in the event of a hung Parliament after the next general election.
Nearly twice as many LibDem councillors would like the party to support Labour (31%), rather than the Tories (16%) in the event of a hung Parliament.
It also found the vast majority of Liberal Democrat activists do not believe the recent expenses scandal will harm their electoral prospects.
Some 78% of those surveyed said it would not damage their chances – compared with 12% who believed it would.
Yesterday the Federal Conference resolved to follow the lead of the Welsh Party by resolving that all MPs should be made to pay back any profit made from their second homes back to the taxpayer.
Any MPs found to have broken the rules should be subject to criminal investigations the party said. Although some MPs were found to have ‘flipped’ the designation of their Westminster and constituency homes to avoid paying capital gains tax, no Liberal Democrat had done this.
