Rainbow Alliance, here we come

This looks choreographed. Brown steps down now, and Clegg will probably announce this evening or tomorrow morning that no deal is possible with the Tories, because they are not prepared to act in the best interests of the UK by giving the people a referendum on a fairer voting system. This will open the way for a progressive coalition to push through a referendum, and promise a new election once the voting system has been fixed, without the LibDems being tainted by Brown's high level of unpopularity.

Fairly sure I saw something positive from Salmond earlier, but it's gone off the BBC page I was following.

But I'm worried that there would be one heck of a media campaign against PR, and we'd end up six months later no better off and with the prospect of a Tory victory in the next election.

On the other hand, it's got to be worth a shot, at least.
