david	hmmmm, the possibility that Sky News broke the rules of the debate in its treatment of Nick Clegg on Thursday.... I think Murdoch sees himself as the unelected Prime Minister of our country. www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/apr/23/nic...egg-ofcom-sky-debate

It doesn not have to be a party leader. That is constitutionally true - it's a power that enjoyed a revival in the 20th century up to the 1960s thanks, among other things, to the chaos of the Depression with the National Goverment and the Tory Party's then-lack of an offficial means to elect a new leader whilst in Government - but Portillo was surely being knowingly disingenuous, because if the same prerogative was exercised today in that way it would hasten the moves to further diminish or even abolish the power completely.

Exit polls in 1992 showed that the Conservatives could not possibly win, but the actual result gave them a 21 seat majority. It ain't over till it's over.
