The phrase has been coined by the media and seized upon by all and sundry.
To say a lack of opposition is a good thing is ridiculous.

We need a strong opposition to keep the govt on their toes.
Had labour been weak the Tories would have done as they pleased for the last 5 years.
That's never good wherever your allegiances are.

If you look at the local council where I live the labour party have agreed to build on greenbelt.
No opposition so it goes through. Voters are very unhappy BUT won't change the way they vote because the thought of voting tory goes against their principles.

The size of the opposition ,over about 40 so too big for rebellions makes little difference, the tories have had that this parliament and they have done as they pleased. Whether its 80,100,150 makes no difference.It”s an American term for a two thirds majority that gives them more power .
