There’s a few polls doing the rounds showing a possibility that the Lib Dems could be the official opposition. That sounds fantastic to me, hopefully pulling Labour in a more progressive direction, and making the Tories an irrelevance.
I do wonder how the press will behave if that happens though. Can’t really imagine them giving Lib Dems the same space in news coverage that the current two main parties get. I’d imagine it’d take quite an ideological adjustment…
There would be almost no choice if the government and opposition were labour and the LD. The new centre of the political spectrum would be just about perfectly placed.
