Political Question

[drplokta]

Suppose that the Tories manage to scrape together enough votes for a small majority, and form the next government, with the LibDems getting the second-highest number of votes but fewer than half as many seats as Labour (maybe 38% Conservative (327 seats), 28% LibDem (86 seats), 25% Labour (210 seats)). Who gets to be the official Opposition?

I agree! I just saw it mentioned a bit. I think to be fair that although "wrong" we are edging towards a more presidential system ; the UK constitution, not being codified (not "not existing") does alter over time, this is one of its fascinating aspects.
