The 2017 General Election

Not a fan of the Tories or the DUP but the Tories needed to go somewhere and the Lib Dems made it pretty clear that they were unavailable for such a thing. They found out how toxic it made them in 2015.
I suspect the Tories would have opted for a Lib Dem coalition once again if it was on the table - they were certainly gunning for one before they got their accidental majority in 2015.

It didn't work particularly well for him in the dying days of his administration, plus I am less than convinced you could get the Queen's speech through without the deal, there would be no incentive.John Major wants a minority government

I've always kinda thought the whole system needs an overhaul to make sure situations like this don't happen. For a start I feel dissolving not just parliament, but parties themselves for a month after a term, would mean individuals can re-group with others who share their views on policies at the time of election. Effectively forming new party "groups" every five years, preventing split-parties and people forming stubborn alliances with parties voting for them every year regardless. It would force people to really think about what they're voting for on a policy basis.

How do you force the dissolution of parties? They are private groups not an organ of the state
