I don't trust him but I would prefer to see a Labour/Lib Dem coalition,the Lib Dems turned their back on that one,despite it being possible in 2010,I cannot see labour however wanting any strong deal with Clegg.
If the Lib Dems do get hammered and he holds his seat, I hope he does the honourable thing and clear off from the Lib Dem leadership.
Who to take his place however, I have now equal dislike for near all the current Lib Dem hierarchy/MPs,except for Charles Kennedy and Tim Farron.

They couldn't have had a majority government though
The Lib Dems will be fine at this election IMO, most of their MPs are in seats where they are still quite popular, in part because Lib Dem MPs are often some of the most committed to local government and their constituencies. I have a lot of time for the dignity that the Lib Dems have carried themselves with in this government and their appreciation for the realities of the situations they've found themselves in, history will look back on them a lot more kindly than today does.
