As a lifelong Labour supporter, I don’t like one bit the idea of the Tories returning to power, but, after mulling things over, I have reluctantly concluded that a Conservative Liberal coalition would be preferable to the alternative: a grand “Progressive Coalition” of the sort that Brown proposed. Such an idea, although attractive on the surface, would immediately run into severe practical problems,
and I don’t think it could be sustained for more than a few months.
Which of the following best completes the passage?
A. “This would result, almost inevitably, in a massive defeat for Labour at the hands of an electorate who would blame us for flouting the will of the substantial minority.”
B. But as the Brits sit down to their tea, the odds have reverted to a Conservative Liberal Democrat deal that would usher David Cameron into office as the leader of a Tory Liberal coalition.
C. According to unconfirmed reports, the movers are already entering the back door of Downing Street.
D. Most likely, it would lead to another election this fall, at which Labour (and the Lib Dems) could end up suffering huge losses.
E. The idea of such a coalition seems to good to be true

I think its D.
Two reasons:
1) The author is the supporter of Labour Party. Hence, the after part should show great loss to the Labour Party ( A and D highlights it)
2) Last sentence says the coalition wont work. Hence, to prove majority another election will initiate. ( D highlights it)
