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?

Labout, minority governments like this happen all the time in Canada.

In 1993 the Bloc Quebecquois actually formed Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition since they had the second most seats in Parliament.
