So there's the decision Clegg has to make.
- Assist a beaten government to limp on for another 5 years with a few other minority parties and piss off a big chunk of the electorate,
- sell their souls for a slice of the Tory 'Big Society' pie and hope not too much of the slime gets stuck to the party in the process
- or leave the UK with a minority government, vote only with the Tory policies they can swallow and be accused of hamstringing parliament at a time when decisive action was required on a number of issues

Don't envy him at all. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
