The Lib Dem voters I just heard on the BBC were typical of the activists:

I didn't vote Conservative it would be totally wrong for there to be a Conservative Prime Minister and for the Lib Dems to support them.

No you didn't, but more people voted Conservative than Lib Dem so even under PR the Conservatives would be the dominant party and have the 'right' to decide the PM. Get over it and don't be asses, you've a chance to get a good part of your agenda through and make real progress, even if it's not as much as you'd wish for
EDIT: Likewise from the Tory point of view, they weren't given an overwhelming mandate and can either loosely govern or bite the bullet for the sake of the country, give ground, and give us a stable government sooner rather than later. At the moment what we need above all else is stability, which in my opinion only a Tory / Lib Dem coalition can give as the alternatives would be a mess.
