The Conservative Party

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It’s an important issue but it’s not the issue that wins that many votes, it’s just not that important to most people plus it’s all a bit transparent now

It wins votes, but principally in safe Tory seats, where its value is nugatory.

With the polls and bye-election results, I'm not sure if there is still such a thing as a safe Tory seat.
I can see anything under a 20,000 majority being under threat, and possibly higher in some constituencies, especially if tactical voting becomes "popular"

I think they'll still still walk home in many rural areas. East Anglia and Home Counties outside the biggest towns/cities, the shires - they'll keep most of those unless one of Labour or LibDems essentially withdraw.

The only thing that will affect many of them - particularly East Anglia/some but not all of Kent - is what the Reform Party get up to.

Try living in the Borough of Stratford upon Avon and say that!

That said, spoke to a Tory councillor a few months back who thinks Zahawi could lose the seat, which would be completely seismic.

There will be plenty of tactical voting round here with Labour getting squeezed.

Can see the Tories going the UK version of MAGA in opposition.

If only Labour and the Yellow Tories would agree to tactical voting and those bastards would be the third party instead of opposition.

this is clearly Cruella's plan

its a madhouse. groups of people who all consider themselves Conservative but do not share political ideals are probably going to oust the PM. That will mean a replacement will be their 6th PM since 2016. To put that into context there have only ever been 6 Labour PM's

Sunak calling press conference 11am
Should be interesting.

Not being funny mate but this sort of thing needs wider distribution - do what you can to spread the word. These bastards frame it in the "Asian hospital porter plays the system by coming here on his £20k pa job and has the audacity to want his Mrs and his child to live with him" when they ignore the " ex squaddie works at Morrissons for £20k pa and has the audacity to want to bring his German wife and child to live with him" - has to be shouted from the rooftops. That **** Johnny Mercer needs the truth dropping on his doorstep

This of course has always been the case. It’s just the wage threshold has gone up.
