With the budget, Labour have now moved the country further to the left, yet with their choice the Conservatives now move the party much further to the right. Badenoch can now espouse a host of fanciful policies that will appeal to some but which will never see the inside of a ministerial box. The political map is set for the next four years, so the more interesting question, for me, will be what direction the country chooses to travel in 2029.

That fella who uses waterslides and such like as election policies will be happy, there'll be a few Tory voters he'll hoover up from this.

I think that’ll likely be determined by whether folk feel better off than they did in 2024. If they do, then no amount of dog whistling rhetoric will get the Tories elected.With the budget, Labour have now moved the country further to the left, yet with their choice the Conservatives now move the party much further to the right.

True. I suppose it will all boil down to whether Labour can stimulate growth. If that growth is only minimal, however, and people only feel marginally better off or no different, then the rhetoric might just appeal to the more desperate.I think that’ll likely be determined by whether folk feel better off than they did in 2024.

I don’t think it’s too far fetched to think that this will happen and Farage will be leader by the time of the next election.They will go full GB News and start making Farage look insignificant until he decides Reform has run it's course and he joins the Tories.

I think the tories have a slight chance in 2029 if Labour fuck it up, but I expect we are in for at least a two term Labour government….

That’s also an acknowledgment of how divided the Conservative Party has become. It’s basically an umbrella term for a host of small groups that share fewer things in common. Without that change, there might have been an endless cycle of leadership challenges, so, barring something extraordinary, Badenoch will now contest the next election.
