coalition of the willing

A. Right leaning leader of party that ostensibly leans to the left.
B. Right wing leader extolling virtues of compassionate conservatism whilst voting record and plans show lack of it.

A & B make speeches together, seem to get on very well personally although a cursory glance at their supposed political positions would suggest little in common.

A makes many decisions that are contrary to the party's supposed direction, on the basis that it is better to be in there with influence. B does not appear to compromise at all and it is difficult to see the influence of A in overall plans.

Media fed information about terrible state of affairs, parroted dutifully by supporting newspaper which are the majority.
State of emergency means that decisions are forced through, some may say too quickly, with little forward or contingency planning by those with little experience against the advice of experienced seniors.

What happened next?

Clegg may not be a fan of the iraq war but, seeing how the government is working, maybe for different reasons than we thought.
