Who gains from the leaking of "secret" talks between Lib Dem and Labour?
Boring answer: Lib Dems - helps strengthen their negotiating position with Tories, by showing that they've always got a Plan B available.
Right answer: Nick Clegg wins, because he can use these meetings as evidence to persuade his reluctant party that every effort to find common ground with Labour has been made. "Alas," says Nick, "these meetings came to nothing."
And so Clegg can lead his reluctant party into bed with Cameron.
Which is exactly what Cameron wants, too.
