when the government have an 80 seat majority, the shadow cabinet become an even more meaningless group than when things are much closer.

Usually after a big defeat, the opposition take the opportunity to clear out the ranks and give new faces a chance to gain experience and get themselves known in the shadow cabinet. Unfortunately labour are in such a mess that I think this will be a 10 year process rather than the usual 5 as the old guard seem to still have power after an almighty defeat
