The Lib Dems are being clever to drop those policies that could stand between them and a Conservative-led coalition. Mainly Trident and insistence on electoral reform.
The Conservatives have basically said they'll implement everything in their own manifesto and everything they agree on between the Con and Liberal ones. Which translates as near zero concessions. Maybe a few token ministers.
What the Liberals want, more than any single policy, is legitimacy in the national conscience - that would win them votes. Looking strong within a coalition government would do that.
(I voted Conservative by the way)
