Miliband is a fool, and the fact that he is in charge of the Labour party robs the British people of a decent opposition. The sooner he gets kicked out after the election the better.
That's not necessarily true.
Tories cannot win a majority or form a majority coalition. Labour cannot win a majority and because they have ruled out SNP cannot form a majority coalition.

The only options left are minority government or minority coalitions.
A Tory minority would not be viable as the left would vote them down at each turn as a matter of principle.
A Labour minority could potentially work as SNP and Lib Dems will vote on an issue by issue basis. So Labour's policies and budget would have a chance of passing. No formal deal needed.

Even if you don't get a majority, and you can't form a coalition, it isn't the party that gets most seats that get a chance to form a minority government - it is who realistic has a chance of having the confidence of the house. IE Who's budget is more likely to get voted through. If the polls are right that would be Labour.
