To me it shows how far the Liberals have fallen that they can't hope to win power by elections and now have to resort to compromising their policies and make concessions to two other parties in order to get some of power.
Considering their history that would seem to show that they have no strength at all and wouldn't seem to be very appealling to voters in the future.

Just to spin your argument the other way, and apply it to signs of conservative weakness...
Comprosing their own ideas/policies in order to try and maintain power shouldn't be seen as weakness.
To me it shows how far the Conservatives have fallen that they can't hope to hold power they won through an election because they fail to compromise their policies and make concessions to the other parties in order to maintain their own power.
Considering their history that would seem to show that they have no strength at all and wouldn't seem to be very appealling to voters in the future.
Of course, you could always spin it back again by arguing that now that the Conservatives have compromised, the coalition should show its strength by backing off. In which case we'd come close to common ground I suspect.
