The Tories have lost. Now which voters should they chase?
The Conservatives are debating their future - but the path back to victory is not straightforward.
This gave me a big belly laugh:
Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”
You're viewing a single thread.
The sliver of petty vengeance in me quite enjoyed this bit:
“There are a load of MPs I thought I’d be spending decades with in this place,” said another. “They’re really good mates. And almost all of them are gone. It’s a reminder of how vulnerable we all are.”
Given that they were responsible for this (or worse) happening to hundreds of thousands of people over the last decade and a half, I wonder if there'll be any life-changing realisations for any of them? What happens when a Tory learns about empathy?

Cognitive dissonance.
The way that Tories are explaining this loss shows they don't understand the reasons they were voted out. The problem is being voted out, not that they need to appeal to voters for their vote. Tories will next attack democracy itself.
It blows me away how much they can ignore something until it affects them personally
