William Hague

Is First Secretary of State (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/liveevent/). That means if Clegg isn't pandering to Cameron, he'll be out and Hague will take over.

1. I'm not sure there's that much to 'take over' as deputy PM

This looks like a title to keep Hague sweet, after he's been the effective number 2 in the Tories.

It was a question what Clegg would actually be doing from day to day; it seems he's in charge of 'political reform', ie the AV referendum, Lords reform, 5 year parliament etc.

Happy editing, Nick!
