Are Liberal Democrat MPs putting the coalition at risk?

This weekend's revelation that yet another Liberal Democrat MP has issues in his private life which would appear to be different to those presented to the public has cast a dark shadow over the Liberal Democrat party. While the Liberal Democrat MPs in question are not the only ones having private life issues in the Houses of Parliament it is the very fact that the Liberal Democratic Party attempted to take the moral high ground during the election campaign which is catching the eye of the public.

There are growing concerns that issues such as those which have arisen at the weekend, which look likely to see Chris Huhne leave his wife of 26 years after having an affair, are damaging the coalition government. Whether or not this is the case is open to debate but one thing is certain, the public opinion of MPs is again being dragged through the mud. This comes at a time when the UK coalition government needs to be as tight knit and as firm as possible to try and push through the many critical changes required. Could the "middle-of-the-road" Liberal Democrat party pull down David Cameron's coalition?

There can be few coalition governments of the past, or indeed single party governments, which have attracted so much controversy with regards to the private lives of cabinet ministers in such a short space of time!
