Gotta wonder why the Torygraph is signaling it's own defeat. I suspect it's supposed to make Tory-leaning floating voters feel pressure to vote and give the impression that Labour are sure to win, making Labour-leaning floating voters less motivated to show up. Seems a bit early given the election won't be called for some time yet.
This has to be bad news. Given the UKIP entryism into local parties, this will likely further embed the Conservatives' shift away from the centre, towards the far-right.
We need a centre-right party in UK politics. The longer the far right are able to wear the skin of the old Conservative party, the more unwarranted influence they will have over the direction of the country.
Labour are pretty centre right under Starmer.
Not really. However Labour is a broad church, always has been, and the reality is they have the most electoral success when they come towards that centre ground. Blair showed that, and on the flip side Corbyn showed that the British public don't have the stomach for that lurch to the Left. It's needs to be a slow shift, an election cycle/leader at a time which moves the party and brings the British people with them.
The Liberal Democrats are centre-right. Labour are comfortably soft-left.
Aren't the lib dems the centre right party?
They're the lying about student loans party.
Should be.
Also still suffering from that whole student loans thingy. Not Cleggers though. Earning a wedge at Facebook.
“I suppose I’m disillusioned – I’m disillusioned by the move to the Right, I’m disillusioned by everything that happened under Boris Johnson and that’s had a long-term effect.”
You and me both mate.
It's fine, as the New Conservatives group formed by 30p Lee will save the day. They are here to badger the weak-minded, cowardly Rishi. With their help, I'm sure the Tories will win the next General Election.
Yes, this is sarcasm.
Given the Tory demographic, most of them probably won't make it to the next election so the longer Richi holds out the better. Perhaps a care assistant could help if wasn't for the rabid right saying we don't need carers as a priority group. Imbeciles.
