Wyn Grant, politics professor at Warwick University, said: "The best hope for them is that there is a hung
 parliament after the next election and they hold the balance of power.

 "It’s all built up quite suddenly. Clearly the Liberal Democrats have been getting very poor results in the polls and
 there was no sign of that slump going into reverse."
