One thing their position does is rule out any possible Tory / Lib Dem coalition, even if Swinson is a former Tory. It also forces Labour's hand.
If Labour jettisoned JC, I would expect liberal to change thier stance , cant see Berger and Chukka ,Angela Smith and the recent Tory additions wanting to be anywhere the current Labour party .
