48 per cent of Conservative supporters in Sheffield Hallam, which has never been a Labour seat, are going to vote to save Nick Clegg.
The Lib Dems are no longer even pretending to be a separate party, and Ed Miliband must have absolutely nothing to do with them.
The Conservative Party has been defined by the takeover of the fairly bovine Tory machine by successive waves of Liberals: Liberal Unionists, Liberal Imperialists, National Liberals, the Institute of Economic Affairs, Alderman Alfred Roberts's daughter, and now the Lib Dems.
That is what the Conservative Party is.
It is a device for making Tories vote for Liberals, and a device for making Tories believe that Liberalism is Toryism: "free" market economics, interventionist foreign policy, and all that.
