I thought they had already signed their own death warrant after the Truss mini-budget debacle. I don’t know what it looks like now, but at the time polling suggested they’d lose so many seats there was a real possibility they’d be the third party, with Labour having a huge majority and SNP as the opposition

The Truss era polling put them forth, after both the SNP and the LibDems; since then their polling has been upgraded from "existential crisis" to "disastrous".

Edit: 4th by seats, not by percentage of the votes, given FPTP.

Oh you're right, I must have forgotten how low they sank at their worst.
