Whilst i'm over the moon about this coming for the Tories....and they deserve all they get after the Brexit fiasco and what they have dumped on all of us for a generation over Brexit and extra costs as a result of all the lies.....
But something fascinating has happened on a number of fronts....
1, The boundary changes for this election has weakened their stronghold seats - on top of that - the unpopularity of the Tories means they have also lost votes from 'soft' Tories who swing to Labour or Lib Dem depending on the country's mood (not their own strength of mind)
2, So, the Tories have lost a lot of traditional soft Tories and also losing the ex Labour (mugs) who voted Brexit but dont have a strong opinion about Brexit - but still voted for it. The other Labour voters who do feel strongly about Brexit are voting for Reform - not Labour or Tory (as in 2019)
So, the Tories are losing voters from their milder Tories, more traditional non-radical voters, they are losing the radical voters to Reform and the boundary changes make lots of safe seats vulnerable as Labour gains popularity.
Brexit was a radical move for normally 'conservative' folk....The Tories have moved further to the radical right (Rwanda, hard Brexit, threats to leave human rights institutions etc..)
They have too many MPs not allowing them to move back to the 'centre' because of their now seemingly radical membership (wherever they have merged from!)
They could very well get pummelled in the election because of these factors and how do they recover ?
People want balance....Brexit doesn't offer that - nor does Brexit offer anything other than pain with higher prices and hassle trading & travelling to the EU - as well as contributing to inflation as people to fill jobs cant be found now that 'freedom of movement' has finished...
people demanding higher wages with a short pool of people...higher wages - higher prices - baked in inflation....
I'm expecting Labour to do something fairly radical with the EU to bring some balance and sense back to the table with trade....(they must do so cleverly by pointing out the positives to the thick english electorate)
But the goods news is the Tories are getting exactly what they deserve after inflicting such an extreme Brexit and the bad luck of a pandemic all whilst they underfunded the NHS and other vital public services - schools, the courts, local government funding..etc...etc...
Annihilation is coming soon....
