Realistically a 92 is the best they can hope for under the current circumstances. A 97 would send the right wingers spinning into the abyss.

I suppose a hung parliament is not a terribly unrealistic proposition. The Conservatives only gained 350k votes last time, not a stretch to see them losing those and more. Labour lost many more votes to the LDs though; I'm not sure they'd be winning them back and where it would put things if they didn't.

It's not unrealistic, but given that the SNP would have around 50 seats and have a huge say in any coalition, I really don't think it will happen.

A Labour/SNP coalition or less formal alliance will be a big turn off to English voters, including me

Apparently it wouldn't in the alternate universe that DB9 lives in.
