Makes an assumption about the largest opposition party, and it doesn't
need to be a 'you get kicked out entirely' - a 'your majority is down to
double figures' would probably do, when coupled with a memory of the
trials of the Major government.

*Especially* if a majority depends on known troublemakers like George
Galloway, John McAllion et al.

Getting your legislative programme through could be fun and interesting...

Cheers
Martin
