So, what are the chances UKIP overtake them in 2015? They really have become quite an embarassment.

None. LibDem vote is concentrated, while UKIP vote is more evenly spread.

Would someone with more knowledge of the constitution clarify for me? Wouldn't all the LibDem ministers have to resign if that was to happen, Cameron trying to shove them through parliament?

Logically, the ministerial solidarity is a custom, but I don't think it forcing resignation.
Cameron may sack them, through.

Is he perhaps trying to set a point of differentiation from the Conservatives, to try to pacify the half of the Lib Dem supporters he upset by backing the Coalition?

Those voters were supporters, past tense. Something as trivial to the man on the street as the boundary changes isn't going to win back the 60% of their 2010 voters that they've lost.

But I thought their voters basically were more middle class liberal types who cared about such issues a Lords Reform.

No voter cares about Lords Reform, neither boundary changes.
