What a few blogs and commenters think is IMHO irrelevant, what matters is the bulk market and the approval of lobbyists, spads and so on. Cherchez la monnaie and the likes of Guido.<br /><br />We may be seeing a splitting of the traditional bulk votes and possibly a reduction in safe majorities but the big parties can afford to starve out the little parties. The little parties that survive will learn the old tricks of the trade. Eventually I suppose repeated coalitions will lead to hybrid adaptations of the old parties along with a few 'sports' (as they say in gardening circles).
