Why on earth would anyone who wanted the Lib Dems in vote conservative in that case? Makes no sense since there was no coalition talk prior to the election (only from Clegg and Brown as far as I recall).
Even if every seat that Clegg won had been won by Labour, they still would not have got enough seats to form anything more than a minority government, which Cameron is already able to do. I say ditch Clegg, form a minority government and call another General Election in the autumn when hopefully we will have a more decisive result.
It is interesting that across the entire nation the Conservatives needed only an additional 16000 votes to win an outright majority. In Bolton West they were just 92 short, and in Ed Balls' constituency they were about 1,000 short of toppling the pompous idiot.
