But a compromise with one party to get one document passed generally is different that a party needing to give something in return for full loyalty of two other parties. Maybe in the end it will be exactly the same. But I doubt it. As far as the trusting politicians issue goes, I choose to trust the party that hasn't shown that they feel entitled to keep my money for themselves (both officially and by stealing).

The hypocrisy that I was trying to show was that everyone was criticizing the coalition because they were making deals with separatists. What we will likely see is the Conservatives making the same deal with the separatists to prop up their government.
