1997 in Britain.  During 18 years of Tory rule it really seemed to many that Labour had no path to victory (i.e. too rooted in the declining industrial working class) and was pretty much unelectable.  I didn't find arguments in 2008 that the GOP was now a fringe party very compelling.

Canada has a far more volatile party system than the US or UK.
