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.

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.

Edit: sorry I thought I was in the other thread

Risk it wouldn't, certainly not immediately, but after five years in opposition? With the Tories suffering a slow drip of less money, less TV appearances, less parliamentary time etc.

Maybe; agree it might be a pipedream though
