Lib Dem / Tory Coalition

The forming of a Lib Dem / Tory administration at Westminster will come as a tremendous shock despite its being predicted by myself and many others. On the doorstep, I have again and again come across people saying something like "I'll either vote Lib Dem or Labour. The one thing I don't want is the Tories." Now we find the Lib Dems putting the Tories into power, and even sitting alongside them in the Cabinet. How can our local Lib Dems face people after this?
