AHC: Bring Down the Coalition

In May 2010, Britain's first coalition government since the Second World War was formed between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Three years on from the 2015 election, and all that entailed, your challenge is to topple the coalition at some point in the 2010-2015 parliamentary term. Particularly at the beginning of the Cameron-Clegg partnership, there were several commentators that doubted the arrangement would last the full five years. Indeed, the 2011 Fixed-Term Parliaments Act was tabled in part to prove these people wrong.

Prove them right!

For the sake of a good challenge, try to avoid the 'coalition amicably divorces during the 2014 conference season' route that seemed all the rage at the time.

Cameron wages a more brutal anti-AV campaign during the AV Referendum, causing Clegg to become angry at a perceived disrespect towards the Coalition. It would also be possible (although a little more ASB) to have a large amount of Conservatives opposed the fixed-term parliament act (although it doesn't necessarily have to be enough to defeat it. These two scenarios mixed would certainly wreck the coalition.
