"Nick Clegg was warned to get out of his pact with the Conservatives before it was too late as his partnership with David Cameron was compared to the troubled marriage of Cheryl and Ashley Cole."
I don't find many reasons to support this coalition and I agree that the Lib Dems have lost credibility but what other options did Nick Clegg actually have?
Support a coalition with Labour which would have had most of the media against ? The "Coalition of the losers" would have been unpopular, it would have lasted a short time and would have eventually given a clear majority to the Tories at the following election. And the LibDems would have lost credibility.
Not supporting the Tories well it would have proven that there cannot be a role for a third party and no point of any electoral reform etc. And he would have been blamed for letting the country down during a crisis, putting party interests before the country's etc. And the LibDems would have lost credibility.
