I'm loving the idea of the Libs as a minor party. Some consequences for the 2 party preferred system though - Anthony Green or young Mr Briggs will have to generate a whole new set of statistics ...

I suppose it becomes an issue with the 2PP system where the Nats and Libs both contest a seat which is generally quite rare, I think? I would expect that even as separate parties they'll agree not to fight each other on the same turf too much as they wouldn't want to split the vote and have (shudder) some other party win.
