I don't think the Conservative Party should survive: the time for its coalition of Burkean conservatives, libertarians, one-nation Tories and anti-Europeans is at an end, and it should undergo a schism like the old Liberal party. Labour would become the new party of no change(1) and economic conservativism with British levels of state socialism.
(1) Blair has just announced another program of reform. This is code for "no important change".
Would've been interesting to see how well 'are they likely to win?' correlates with 'would you like them to win?' (although given the huge majority for 'no chance' perhaps not that interesting...)
