The end of the Conservative Party?

[mat]

The Tory right won't wander off into the wilderness and start their own party, for the same reason the Labour left won't.

I had a strange dream last night that Johnson announces the creation of a new political party he will lead that will be called the British Party.

Surely he'd call it the Lockdown Party?

It’s not the end of the Tories unfortunately people are brainwashed by the media tv programmes, even people who voted Labour all their lives switched sides and voted for control of our borders and Brexit they thought it was wrong to re nationalise I blame TV

The mechanics of a split are already there. The Reform party are the latest in a long line, The Brexit Party and UKIP have been and mostly gone. The Tories lurched to the right to avoid losing voters to this mob. But Truss took that far right fantasy as far as it could go and from here on they have to row back for economic credibility. Brexit is damaging the economy and again they need to row back. So its a given that the hard line brexit support base will jump, the question is will the ERG types sit on their hands. And on the basis the membership are more loony than the senior back bench MPs and party officials that run the party how long will they the status quo last. The tory party is not very democratic - it is designed to allow a small pool of characters significant power - that power now is with the wets. But will that change over time?

They're not in a straight fight with Fianna Fail since Irish independence I reckon.

Quite often were in a straight and open fight with FF.
The good old days of Charlie and Maggie, Aaah don’t you miss them?

No. Me neither.

Mogg would not be tweeting rubbish like this if everyone in his party agreed with him. The majority don't.
