They'd never do it with Labour - UKIP's membership is currently swelling with Old Tories unhappy about the parties current direction vis gay marriage, Europe - the usual Tory bugbears - and these people do not represent the caring, sharing wing of the party. They hate Labour with a passion. Any deal between those two parties would be even more unholy than the Molotov - Ribbentrop pact.
But the problem remains that in the event of the Tories winning another minority victory - and I have a horrible feeling they will seeing as Labour have decided to become the most useless bunch of prats in the world - , it's highly unlikely that they are going to ask the Libs on board again. There is too much water under the bridge for that to happen. Whether we see it filter down to us or not, there are a substantial number of Tory backbenchers who will demand of Dave (or, more likely someone else,) an attempt to bring those little lost sheep back into the fold.
Remember, they might be doing their damnedest to rip out whatever heart and soul this country still has, but there are still a lot of Tories who think they aren't doing enough, and a lot of them blame Clegg and the Libs for diluting the Tories God Given right to destroy every institution that does not directly benefit them. As we drop headlong into an unprecedented triple dip recession, the hardliners will howl all the louder. Farange for deputy PM come 2015. You heard it here first.
Personally, I'm beginning to hope the Mayans were right. Even more personally, I'll be delighted to trot of into Armageddon as long as the Comet that does for us hits Ian Duncan Smith first, right on top of his bald, viscous and unspeakably evil head.
