Indeed. I think there's something around a 1 in 3 chance that Nick Clegg will be Leader of the Opposition pretty soon. That's something I'm very much looking forward to: I don't think they're ready for government yet, but it would give their credibility a massive boost and focus their minds on making their policies genuinely achievable.

I think it's automatic that Labour has lost the next general election; their task is to avoid coming third.

For this reason I wouldn't be at all surprised if we had a referendum on proportional representation alongside the next general election. I don't think PR would actually be a good thing, but a referendum on PR would be an easy way for Labour to dissipate one plank of the LibDems' constituency in an emergency.
