I doubt if we'll see the landslide so often referred to (if only because turnout is expected to be very low); I also believe it's still possible for the unthinkable (IMHO) to happen. It would certainly be nice for the Lib Dems to become the Opposition, but I can't see it happening. People may state it as their preference in polls, but when the day comes they may vote differently.
