The Conservative Party

I'm not sure that's true. If the Tories understand anything, it is the importance of being in power.

But if they accept that they are done for in 2 years time, why put up anyone with an iota of talent to try to save it? Who knows, only time will tell.

She could well be PM after next election with a razor thin majority.

Labour need a swing bigger than 1997 to form a true government.

They could try and do a deal with the yellow Tories or SNP. The yellow Tories would more likely go over to the Tories again if they needed them to keep power.

That’s just not going to happen. The Liberal Democrats went from 57 seats in 2010 to 8 (eight!) seats in 2015, something which has irrevocably scarred them and that is an experience they will not want to repeat. If they are somehow in a similar electoral position in 2024 and able to make Starmer King, they will support Labour, but they’ll likely exact a legislative price on electoral reform.

They'd go for that after failing to get it changed under Brown.

A Brexit benefit was apparently returning sovereignty and respect to the Mother of all Parliaments, which should involve announcing new Government policy there first. Traditionalists…

And one which Labour should take up happily. It may abandon the likelihood of Labour being in sole power, but they'd probably have a say in future govts.
