well theres usually a 3 or 4 percent swing to the Lib Dems from both of the other 2 parties during the course of the general election campaign which if you let the situation slip another couple of percentage points from the current situation between the opposition parties, still gives roughly a 50 seat advantage to the tories. It would put the LibDems within about 20 seats of becoming the official opposition, having pushed Labour into 3rd place.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
