As the wrath of their supporters and tactical voters descends on the LibDems, step forward Simon Hughes. What a busy boy he has been recently. Question Time, Any Questions and the Today programme have all featured the ever-ready Mr Hughes attempting to justify the decision to coalesce with the Tories to a sometimes very hostile audience. He has struggled to convince, though he has shown more fire in his belly than usual.
Failure to deliver anything meaningful; being gobbled up by the Tories or filling a scapegoat role, could consign the LibDems to electoral meltdown.
Fighting their corner, getting their ideas through and showing themselves as effective leaders could change the way we do politics in this country for the foreseeable future.
Libertories? Concrats? Conrats? Conservocrats? Torycrats?
Whatever you want to call them, the stakes are high.
