The Opposition
What sort of Opposition will we now get?
Labour are probably stunned by the fact that the aren't popular, and whichever way they turn they will alienate a significant number of potential voters.
LibDems are in meltdown having been put back 45 years. They need to start from scratch.
UKIP/Greens just don't have the MPs.
SNP have a strong contingent, although they have people who were not originally expected to win, so they will probably have some loose cannons on their side as well
I'm not sure this bodes well for an effective opposition.
Unless the Tory Right become the de facto opposition.

The opposition (labour and Lib Dem) will not be full steam until after the summer. The SNP will be interesting especially if Alex Salmond is leader.
To early to call on by elections but I can see UKIP adding mp's.

We'll be seeing a lot of Harman on Wednesdays at PMQs. She'll be asking all the questions that husband Dromey writes for her.
She was going on about how they are the third largest party now.
