When faced with the choice to go into coalition or not, Clegg should've considered that the only reason he got to even consider that approach was because a bunch of people voted for the policies they were going to enact. So he should've gone into that decision knowing that if they had to shelve any of them, that wasn't acting in good faith.
The country voted for a minority Tory government, and that's what we should've got. I don't buy that whole "we tempered the Tories" line, because couldn't they have done that with the Tories in minority anyway by just voting in the Commons?
I say this because I voted for LibDem that time around, and I feel as though the party chose to be in government over the desires of its voters.
I won't say "I'll never vote for them again" but it would take a lot. As it happens I now live in a safe Labour constituency, but I also happen to like the MP, so I'll be voting for him.
