8.07pm: My colleague Hélène Mulholland is on patrol in Westminster and she's just bumped into a senior Lib Dem who explained the situation like this.
The dilemma for the Liberal Democrats is that it would be easier arithmetically to do a deal with the Conservatives, but it would be easier politically to deal with Labour ... I think the mood of the party is in favour of a deal with Labour.
Says it all really. The sandal wearing, wind farm fanatics, never really wanted a pact with the conservatives. It was a sympathy ploy all along.
Maybe I will be proved wrong but I doubt. If I am I will do an Iain Dale and sprint stagger drunkenly naked through the town.
*I suggest you avert your eyes as I'm not a pretty sight.*

The Indecision Party think that getting rid of the Brown Gorgon will make Labour easier to deal with. So they cosied up to the Cameroids until the Gorgon jumped.
They really should take a hard look at the rest of them. A nasty shock is coming Clegg's way.
