The Liberal Democrats will probably be the next big thing in mainstream opposition parties and will almost certainly adopt Libertarian ideals as mainstream policy base. They will refurbish, re-organise and grow. I'd be hugely surprised if they did not. I saw this trend eight years ago, but no one believed me. I think it may come to pass, especially now as Labour will leak many malcontents and evolutionary social democrats to liberal democracy, and left of centre Conservatives may find a new home in a new opposition.
