A collapse of the SNP and a resurgence of the LibDems are both strong possibilities for the next election, and between them could restore the historic situation of the LibDems being the third largest party. I agree it's unlikely the Conservatives would drop below either.
Agreed. I see no sign that the LibDems are likely to resurge in terms of votes: So far they seem to be flatlining on about the same % vote as they got in 2019. But I'm pretty sure a combination of anti-Tory tactical voting plus a general collapse in the Tory vote in places where the LibDems are the main challenger will see the LibDems pick up quite a few more seats. I also agree that it's highly unlikely that they'll overtake (or even come close to overtaking) the Tories.
