I think we're at the middle ground now. The last few elections suggest that.
I agree that there is still a Labour/Conservative divide but I think that exists in a large minority of partisans who aren't that well represented by their respective parties - hence the existence of UKIP. These voters are taken for granted whilst the leadership chases the swinging voters who tend to be moderates almost by definition. That is until you find your core vote leaving for the smaller party, or staying at home, and suddenly you need to call an EU Referendum.
