Truth stranger than fiction?
Conservative MP for the City of London and Westminster, Mark Field:
"I reckon that defending a record in government will necessitate Conservatives giving most Liberal Democrat incumbents a free run in their seats. By way of reciprocation in the dozen or so Conservative-held seats most vulnerable to the Liberal Democrats, candidates from the latter party would also stand down."
No shortage of Tory-Lib Dem marginals in Cornwall. Mr Field's suggestion might guarantee a 3-3 share of Parliamentary representation by these two political parties forever. Just think of the money, time and effort that could be saved...
