Mr Eugenides spells out the Lib Dem position to Tabloid readers :

…

As it is, Nick Clegg is running around like a dog with two dicks trying to hump everything that moves. In doing so, he merely looks squalid and opportunistic, and public support for PR – which the BBC now seems to think we all voted for last week – is dropping by the hour as people see what it would actually look like in practice.

Look, Clegg has basically dumped his girlfriend in the hope that the hot chick he met in the club last week will put out for him. But if she doesn’t, or it turns out in the cold light of day that she is actually a munter – let’s face it, they so often are – and he has to go crawling back to his ex, he won’t be feeling quite so smug, will he? There has to be a strong chance that two weeks from now he’ll be sitting on his sofa surrounded by empty packets of Doritos, whacking off to The Daily Politics and wondering where it all went wrong. Well, fuck him, and fuck them. This is the moment they’ve been waiting for all their lives; and when the call finally came, they were found wanting. Whatever happens – whoever they end up jumping into bed with – we won’t forget.
