Conservative Party officials have begun contingency planning in case Nick Clegg, the leader of coalition partner, the Liberal Democrats, is unable to stop his party from withdrawing from the government ahead of the end of its term in 2015.

The news comes at the end of a tough week for the coalition, with the mostly pro-European Liberal Democrats at odds with a vocal anti-European element within the Conservatives, as the matter of Britain’s European membership dominated the week’s headlines.
