The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

People will hold their noses just the same for the Tories in 5 years' time, after them having done way worse things than just not quite holding their coalition partner back a couple of times.

What Clegg conceded was bad, but 14 years might be enough exile and personnel churn for one to give them a new chance.
