Britain is f**ked anyway and i can see the Lib Dems moderating some of that

however, i fear you might be right on the electoral reform - with the whole of parliament collapsing and another election being called before anything can be implemented (and that'll probably be more by design than accident)

I think Clegg will be found in a position of having to agree to at least a Queen's speech and emergency budget 'for the good of the country'. - though much of what happens could depend on Greece and a lack of backbone in standing up to the 'markets'.
