so they don't have the advantages of being the official opposition, ie just like all the other smaller parties
And all their current leadership candidates suffering the indignity of not being invited to interview or offer opinions and struggling to get any airtime, because they're no longer the alternative to turn to.
They'll have to run their next election campaign by jumping off padel boards and sliding down water slides just to get attention.

I guess this is my point — it’s so engrained in press culture, would this actually happen? Given the volatility of elections I suspect the Conservatives would still ultimately be the opposition in the eyes of much of the media.

I like to think this is deeply routed entitlement, you MUST vote for us, w're the natural party of power, or at least a Gov in waiting. It's what we deserve, you owe us your votes etc.
Love to see them pushed into third, so they don't have the advantages of being the official opposition, ie just like all the other smaller parties. I think then their elderly membership and aged support comes into play if they have to slug it out with the rest.
If their performance dosen't improve in '28 / '29 election dose the Daily Heil start calling for PR?
