UK Liberal Democrats say they could back minority government on 'issue-by-issue' basis

LEEDS, England, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Britain's anti-Brexit
Liberal Democrats could support a minority Labour or
Conservative Party government on an issue-by-issue basis if a
Dec. 12 election does not produce a clear winner, the party's
finance spokesman Ed Davey said on Friday.

"If either of them form a minority government, as is
possible, we will vote issue by issue... that will force any
government to come to the centre to be more moderate," Davey
told an audience in Leeds, northern England.

Davey said the party would not vote to make Conservative
leader Boris Johnson nor Labour's Jeremy Corbyn prime minister.
However Davey's comments suggested the party might be prepared
to work with a minority government on selected issues.
