Well you're pretty much describing every opposition party in history, they all use spin, rhetoric and populist propaganda to persuade voters that they are the far better alternative, which isn't always the most difficult feat no matter who's in power. True, considering the state of things the Conservatives probably should have won a majority (and actually in the circumstances I think the marriage of convenience they made with the Lib Dems has proven to be far more solid than a lot of people would have expected), but on the same note you would also expect Labour to have a far bigger lead in the polls than they currently do have. Miliband might have had an alright conference - despite not really offering any long term and concrete policies - but most people still find it hard to see him as the Prime Minister and wouldn't trust him in the role, most likely scenario for 2015 is another hung parliament with the Lib Dems being King makers once again
