Nick Clegg would not stay party leader for long if he tried to make a deal with the Conservatives.
The Lib-Dems, as a party, will only support Labour.
It’s real simple. A vote for Lib-Dems is a vote for Labour…

Assuming no party wins a majority, does the party with the most votes have to be included in the government that is formed? If the Conservatives win 36%, the Lib-Dems win 29% and Labour wins 28% (with other minor parties taking the rest) could the Lib-Dems form a ruling coalition with Labour? I’m not familiar with the Parliamentary system so I’m curious if this could happen, has happened and, if it can’t happen, then what procedures are in place to prevent it.
It’s possible. There is in fact nothing in British law about this at all. We elect the MPs and that’s it – what happens after that is purely a matter of convention. If any party or combination of parties has the support of enough MPs that they can form a stable government, they can agree amongst themselves who will be Prime Minister and the Queen will appoint that person (PM is a Royal appointment, not necessarily anything to do with Parliament at all). It’s never happened that the party with most MPs isn’t part of the government, but there’s nothing to stop it happening.
Notice I say most MPs, rather than most votes. The interesting thing with the "first past the post" voting system is that it doesn’t necessarily depend on the number of votes anyway. It’s where those votes are that matters. In the 1951 general election, Labour got over a million more votes than the Conservatives but the Conservatives won more seats and formed the government, because those extra Labour votes were in safe Labour seats which Labour would have won anyway, so those votes were effectively wasted.
RadioactiveLiberty.com’s exclusive video of the 2009 Portsmouth, NH Health Care Reform Town Hall. While Barack Obama preached to the choir about government-run health care inside, RL shows you the protesting and the other side of the debate outside. No one was paid to make this video or speak against Obama’s policies despite what politicians on the left claim.

I know a little bit about it but i want to know the whole story.
The Tea Party is many things to many people.
It is a grass roots effort primarily made up of ordinary Americans of every race, sex and creed who are simply fed up with the excesses of the government. They want the government to respect, honor and FOLLOW the Constitution. They are fed up with being excessively taxed for programs that the government has no constitutional business being involved in (e.g. health care which seems to be getting the most "press" these days). Basically, it is a group of Americans who believe enough is enough and do not want to be ignored and taken advantage of anymore.
Contrary to what you may see on the mainstream media, it is not a wing of the GOP. It is not run by corporations. It is not organized by talk radio. It is not a bunch of "old racist white rich men who don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes". Rather they simply are tired of paying other peoples "fair share" as well.
They have adopted the image of the Boston Tea Party as their symbol. But they are not ignorant enough to believe that we are being taxed without representation. They believe that we are being excessively (and needlessly) taxed with representation. You can look at the Wikipedia entry below for a good start in getting the story. Or you can Google it. There’s no shortages of entries. Or Opinions. I only caution you on the extreme anti-tea party sentiment out there. In pure emotional terms, it is far more virulent, in fact all the anti sentiment is "extreme".
