Tories Out

The Conservative's may have been hoping that the budget may have moved the dial but they will be disappointed by today's mega-poll which is showing that the Government are still heading for a crashing general election defeat.
The You-Gov poll which surveyed 14,000 people predicts that the Conservatives would retain only 169 seats, down from 365 in 2019 while Labour would take 385, up 186 with the Liberal Democrats 48 and the SNP 25.
Rob Ford, a professor of politics at Manchester University, noted that the YouGov modelling appeared to play down the effect of tactical voting in many seats and suggests that things could be even worse for the Conservatives' although losing any majority of 80 seats in one cycle is almost unthinkable but goes to show just how awful the Conservatives have been.
Many Conservatives seem to know that the game is up and are stepping down at the election, including former Premier Theresa May who announced today that she, along with 68 other Tory MP's, will not stand at the next election.
As for the expected incoming Labour Government whose spending plans Jeremy Hunt callously hacked at in his budget, it is going to be tough to implement their ideas when the money they have their eye on has been splashed away in tax cuts and higher borrowing but as one former Politician once said, all political lives end in failure and so it is for the Conservatives, just a shame that they had to drag us all down the gurgler with them.
