New poll shows Tories heading for election wipeout - with Lib Dems overtaking them
www.independent.co.uk
Redfield and Wilton’s poll of 10,000 voters suggests that the Conservatives will suffer “catastrophic” losses

Yesterday I was pointing out how little effort this would take based on polling. And today a new poll puts electoral calculuses tory seat prediction from 66 to 27.

While it is an early poll.

Honestly if we saw a higher young voter turn out all votiing tactically. A complete distruction of the Tories party is possible.

Imagin an opposition party challenging labours view on FPTP. This would be a real once in a life time change to the old aristocratic power structure.

    The really odd thing is that in this scenario, the Lib Dems would come fourth in vote share, behind Reform, but second in terms of seats, which might have an interesting impact on their view of PR!

      Having supported STV since the late 1970 (that I remember maybe longer)

      Any power gained under FPTP will be clearly seen as easy to lose. More so as the party really remembers what 2010 did to there support.

      But maybe recent polling is giving me delusions of positivity.

      Oh I can tell you right now what their position is. Imagine this in a nasal clipped tone:

      Now is not the time to think about such things. Our country is hurting from fourteen years of Tory government and we’re getting on with the job of improving the country for everyone whilst supporting our NHS. As such I’m announcing all nurses uniforms are to be made tax free.
