The problem is though is that the Tories won't be able to keep it up, they divide opinion too much. They've only got the one seat in Scotland and everywhere else is divided while Labour managed to do quite well considering, generally it has a bigger voting target audience but Brown is what stopped them being elected again.
Old habbits die hard, unless the Tories defy expectation and do really well then they'll struggle when the next election comes around since Labour will be under new leadership. If I'm honest I don't want either in charge but the general public are too predictable.
I'm just hoping the LibDems get a great deal and do what they can before the coalition breaks down.
