Tory opinion is unanimous on Boris-he is a buffoon.

However they  split on what type of buffoon.

A  loveable, roguish and endearing buffoon.

Or a buffoon.

Especially in Chesham and Amersham.

 

 

 

That we know- however there will be an increasing number of Tory MPs concerned about their future prospects in

 

 

His failure to lead during the pandemic has ruined his personal ambitions of being a Churchill.

His man... marriage  just before G7 enabled the happy pair to be introduced

There is also the Cummings effect, the last nail in his coffin. When the media see him as negative, he is history. The same happened with Blair.

I think the media have seen Boris in a negative light for the past few years. But getting back to the Lib Dems.... they are also back to where they were 2 years ago as well.

We've seen the Lib Dems in office. All the voters of Chesham and Amersham have done is swap one brand of Tory for another, which is understandable as it's a very affluent area.

Not saying this is going to happen. What if most of the Tory strongholds in the south starting voting LibDem and the North vote Tory with odd area Labour controlled it could make an interesting general election result.

The Lib Dems are no more just another brand of Tory than they are a Labour Party light for dissatisfied Labour supporters to use to send messages to the Labour leadership.

Universal Basic Income is Liberal Democrat policy, so they are not Right-wing at all.

The people who voted for them in 2010 should have stuck with them in 2015 then the party would have had chance to get bigger. Too many 2010 Lib Dem voters didn't understand that a minor party in a coalition government can't pursue all their manifesto pledges or block all the manifesto pledges of the larger party in the coalition government.  

There isnt a block of voters on the right, center and left, people vote for various policies put forward by the partys. Voters have less loyalty than decades ago.

perhaps, some votes were, looking at the votes the other parties got then i'd suggest it was, but its got them loads of media coverage. It's allowed the media to explore the demographic changes in the so called blue-wall seats which are likely to have long term effects on voting patterns in a way that feeds directly into the paranois of the back bench tory party MPs.
