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.

Honestly, I've got heartburn. It's like watching a rather good Bruce Willis movie. I was honestly convinced when Hague came out the last time he was going to say it was a done deal. Clergg is either brilliant or a complete bastard - let's admit (by all the LJ polls) none of us lot saw this as possible two days ago.

I couldn't (and still can't) see how Clegg can keep the liberals together in an alliance with the Tories. I thought minority government was a possibility.
