It has long been clear that any post-election pact with the Lib Dems would mean Brown's departure as PM. His exit signals a way forward for a twin-track approach by Nick Clegg as talks also continue with Conservatives on a possible coalition. The latest update from those discussions that Lib Dem MPs require more details about tory proposals and particularly on commitments to electoral reform. Meanwhile, Sky reports that tory MPs are expressing fears of a stitch-up.
Update: It appears "more details" means that the Conservatives put up an Additional Member version of PR as their final offer on electoral reform.

Well this isn't exactly a surprise. What I read into this is that the possibility of a Lab-Lib alliance has become more substantial as differences with the tories become more evident.
Only just got the joke of the revolving doors at No.10 - it's been a long day.
