LEAVE the Conservative Party and save your country!

The context added by readers is very funny

On a serious note, and perhaps this is better being answered by actual Tory voters, but all opinions welcome. Is the Tory party now is genuine danger of actually collapsing, or at least splitting off into different parties? I know the initial response is likely to be that this is hyperbole. Thinking about is closely though, they are going to lose the next GE heavily, they have clearly lurched further to the right and centrist Tory MP's seem very few. Reform could quite easily take up a worryingly large % of the vote and challenge them. The Tories have always coalesced around a single leader and factions have buried personal agendas in pursuit of winning elections. It is pretty clear that is no longer the case, dare I say it, they now look more like the Labour party of old with massive infighting and various cliques all vying for power.

Simple question, where does this leave them long term? Especially if predictions are even worse and they have less MP's than '97, which is not inconceivable.

Labour are currently filling that role. Voters will have to think again if they lurch left. Right wing tories are dust.

And they are telling me that they think I'm currently shut in my house with a constant fear of crime or the ULEZ bogeymen in the run up to a London mayoral election they are supposed to be trying to win.

Does the message "imagine if your town was as horribly deprived as London" really resonate? I genuinely wouldn't know.

It's difficult to get upset about something so obviously nonsense.

It's obviously more damaging to the Conservatives than Labour, so one can only assume this is deliberate sabotage.

Should make a series of these - next one can be a western about Birmingham council going bankrupt or something. They can then come out and say "Instead of giving that bloke his money back, we've decided to waste it all on making film parodies for the entertainment of the nation."

What, being super lax about financial services regulation and being "intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich"?

Or the longest uninterrupted period of growth for 200 years?

63 current Conservative MPs now standing down at the next election.

Will the last one out switch on the answerphone?

Go on admit, you're a Labour voter. Don't forget they inherited a strong economy in 1997, guess who from...

I mean tax and regulate. Its in the Labour DNA.

We'll all have different experiences I'm sure but by 2010 we were definitely bouncing back. '10-'15 was reasonable too. Wheels fell off post '16.

Conservatives have added way more regulation in my sector than Labour did.

You still clinging to the idea that this lot lower taxes?

Keep going S666. With the number of current (relatively) sensible Tory MPs doing one and opting out aka running away from the cadre of 'kin headbangers supposedly running this dUK, you could be in with a shout of getting a seat. Bring on the gimme gimme gimme a bung after midnight, or before midnight, or whenever suits you sir...

Just think: you could be the next Christopher Chope upskirting fanboi. Or whatevs.

I'm sure they will. The increased costs of running the country are baked in. Best not to hold up Covid spending and the ludicrous energy handouts as necessary and prudent spending, though 😬.

I'll take that as an admission that they will raise taxes. As a business owner I guess you'll be in the firing line. And then there's the increased regulation and workers rights, you must be looking forward to that.
