The Tory party are in disarray and I really don’t think it was down to Brexit.
It was like this in 1997 after 18 years of Tory rule when the Labour Party had been in similar disarray.
They have been through several leaders-one of whom lost her seat-and I’m not sure Sunak even really wanted the job.
They basically lost the country -and I’m not sure they would have won in 2019 if the press had not done a demolition job on Jeremy Corbyn-who stood as an independent and retained his seat.
The country are fed up with the high cost of living,a long running industrial dispute on the railways in England and a party which had no clear vision for the future.
As Labour discovered after the Tory landslide in 1979 it is a long way back.
It was a coalition with the Lib-Dems that put the Tories back into power 14 years ago.
I think it it will be a lot longer than that before they see power again.
As for the turn out that is actually pretty good.
It has never been more than about 70% and has been worse.
Although I don’t think you have any right to moan about whoever is power if you can’t be bothered to contribute to the process.
