What the conservatives fail to understand is that it isn’t simply a dislike of their policies, it is a deep and fundamental distrust of their party and government
-
Spoiler: yes, Rish! will survive. He will lose around 400 seats but keep one or two metro mayors and will spin it as 'not that bad,' 'governments typically do badly at local elections,' blah blah blah. We need a general election to get the Tories out asap.

COUNT BINFACE FOR LONDON MAYOR!
-
"Labour's 20-point lead" was the most brutal thing that could be said about the absolute STATE of the Conservative Party right now, well done.
-
The uk needs proportional representation and regional parliments
-
0 SEATS 0 SEATS 0 SEATS 🇬🇧

Sunak needs to call a General Election, full stop. He's Unelected, unwanted and unpopular.
-
Have people really forgotten Johnson and Truss? I think not!! Vote out the CONservatives once and for all.
-
Short answer, no. Because with tactical voting involved, I can see the Tories lose way more than 500 seats. Should that come to pass, I can see Sunak calling a snap election to prevent a leadership challenge. His ego won't allow him being replaced.
-
We need a General Election now.
-
On the last message, yes go out and vote for your party, unless your party is the conservative party. Instead stay home, read a book, watch TV, call your grandchildren, make a nice dinner and go to bed early.

Bro i'm just imagining this in like a hoi4 scenario like it's literally self sabotaging for the easiest Labor playthrough imaginable like damn.
-
Conservatives need to go!
-
TORIES GONE
-
32% turnout at the last election shows the lack of hope in alternatives in the UK. Really sad. As an American I feel that pain...oh look Biden vs Trump again...are they really the best we have?
-
funny enough its time to replace Humza in the opening graphic already
-
Tories out!
-
Which political future? Sunaks political career will end this year and we'll never see him back after his defeats on a political stage ever again.
-
We can’t have another Tory prime Minister! JUST CALL A GENRAL ELECTION!!!!
-
Voting in my first police election... very excited 😂
