Labour MP Steve McCabe: We must not go into coalition with Liberal Democrats
Liberal Democrats seem to be struggling to win support at the moment - opinion polls suggest 10 per cent of voters back them, down from the 23 per cent of the vote they received at the General Election.
But they could still be in Government next time, if neither the Tories nor Labour succeed in winning a majority at the next election.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has hinted he would join a coalition led by Labour - but only if Ed Balls, Labour's Shadow Chancellor, is sacked.
Birmingham MP Steve McCabe (Lab Selly Oak) said: "Lib Dems say no coalition with Lab in 2015 unless Ed Balls goes. Who wants them?
"Whatever the result there should be no deals with that lot."
