I'm glad you feel the breath of fresh air on your face, but as I said above, I don't - I've also explained above why I think it's odious so I'm not going to start going round in circles.
As for why the Tories will eventually get back in power: The Lib Dems have currently won a pile of votes from traditional Tory voters who would never bring themselves to vote Labour. The problem with that is, the Lib Dems are easily to the left of Labour on just about every issue, so their 'true' target votes come from Old Labour supporters, not Tories. Once the Tories sort themselves out, the Tory voters will come home both in positive support of the Tories and in rejection of the Lib Dems, who are getting an increasingly tough time of it from journalists and have finally to justify their policies in the same way as Labour and Tory candidates do.
Lib Dem presence in the Commons will crumble. No matter what Charles Kennedy might like to think, the Lib Dems are a poor third 'force' in British politics and are going to be that way for some time.
