UK Coalition Government Split ?

Telegraph: Reports on comments by the DPM Nick Clegg that the Coalition Parties will become more distinct after the AV referendum . In other words the Deputy Prime Minister feels under threat from those within his party who never in their hearts really wanted a Coalition Government. At the end of the day your either in Government our out, DPM Nick Clegg should have the guts to face down his opposition, you cant have Liberal Democrats Cabinet Ministers after the AV vote deciding which policy they like, the point of Collective responsibility within Cabinet is that on the whole you have once voice, yes there was the feud between Blair/Brown and that was one party, on the whole the system only works if you have one voice. If the Liberal Democrats want to leave the Government they should go, if they lose AV and take away their ball they will be seen as a one issue self interested Party, that helps the Tories. The Conservatives should look to form a minority Government or a lesser deal with the Liberal Democrats or some Northern Ireland MPs.
