Elgroucho - are you asking: if Labour wins, and the LDs and Tories have an equal number of seats (eg Labour get 50% of seats, and LD and Tory get 25% each [yes, that means NO-ONE else gets one, it's THEORY!]), who is the official opposition?
Yes - as elgroucho said there is an official opposition. For election "vocab" see the BBC's excellent section on the election @ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/vote_2005/basics/4346975.stm
