@Boris Johnson is often correct in a zany sort of way. On the coalition, however, I have to question his judgement.
Sooner if not later ( but probably later ) the Liberals and @Nick Clegg in particular will realise that their party is very much a junior Coalition partner; it's there simply to make up numbers. Putting dear old Vince in the background would do nothing to improve the growing Liberal image of being decrepit.
So when the penny drops, so will the realisation that Liberal voters are deserting in huge numbers because they are fed up with their image of ineffective hangers-on and fed up with being publicly humiliated by more highly skilled political partners and opponents. The longer Nick Clegg lets this go on, the fewer punters will vote for the Liberals in any upcoming election - Local or General.
So, Boris, you might be wrong on this occasion. On the other hand a sort of illicit encouragement for things to muddle along until 2015 might well be a rather clever ploy. One which I have yet to fathom.
I've never voted for the Liberal party, and I don't much like the namby pamby liberal views I read about in the UK and Europe. But, bless them, I can't help feeling sorry for Nick Clegg and for dear old @ Vince Cable; by all accounts they do appear to be such very nice people. But "nice" just doesn't cut it when difficult decisions have to be made.
