The mood of the country as a whole and the opinions of the people who voted Lib Dem should be considered important enough to trump the petty indulgences of Liberal Democract activists and other loons.

Alex Massie on the prospects for a Tory-Lib Dem deal
It is such a shockingly short campaign to an America, our last presidential campaign lasted 18 months. Why could a country that fashions itself in the top five on earth take only a month to make a decision on their leader? A country that seems to enjoy politics so much more than my own seems to dispatch with their process so quickly...Maybe if I truly was a part of your system the whole process would make sense, but I doubt it.

And as all the focus groups and polls seem to show, his inexperience is a factor in this election. Even one Conservative supporter on Twitter said he 'looks like his mum dressed him and patted his hair down with a lick of her hand before off to Auntie Mabel's funeral!' Others were much less polite.
