If that happened, then they could easily use their position to shoehorn in some of their policies.
They don't need to win the election to get into power, if you see what I mean.

Does anyone know the longest unbroken period that the same party has been in power in this country?
The Tory period of dominance from 1807-1830 would probably count as the biggest. But there was a period of Whig dominance before that which might have been longer, but that's just outisde my knowledge span. I'll check Wiki...

Update: For some reason, I thought the younger Pitt was a Whig, so said Tory dominance would technically run from 1783-1830 (allowing for the minor hiccup of Grenville's ministry which lasted about a month).
There was a period of Whig dominance in the C18, but as I say, my historical knowledge doesn't extend over it, so I'm not going to comment on it.
