Choosing between Cameron and Miliband will be not much different to the recent choice in Australia between Abbott and Rudd - more of a matter of deciding who is "less worse" than it is choosing which one you want as PM. Australia got that one wrong, hopefully the UK won't.
Yes, I doubt if the Conservatives would want another coalition but there often are strange bedfellows sought when power is at stake.

In our local area we had a strange situation where Labour won the most council seats at last year's elections but the Conservatives formed an alliance with the SNP to become the ruling party (yes, unionists and nationalists combining to keep Labour out). However last week a group of Conservatives broke away as one of their group wanted to be the Council leader but this split their group in two and the SNP formed a new alliance with Labour and are now in power.

It seems as though Boris Johnson is waiting in the wings to take over from Cameron, either before or after the next election.

Politics is quite often who do you least like as in Rudd/Abbott. We've seen the terrible John Howard replaced by the terrible Kevin Rudd who was stabbed in the back by the terrible Julia Gillard who was replaced by the terrible Kevin Rudd who was replaced by the terrible Tony Abbott who will be replaced by ..... ditto Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron.

... quite possibly the person who was a main instigator in the backstabbing of both Rudd and then Gillard if the vote goes to Shorten.
