They had their worst general election result, and now the worst local election result.

Is the Conservative Party doomed?

I think she needs to meet people more posh or not people to be able to discover what the public actually want

What Conservative voters actually want including those that are voting Reform, my guess is that she will be replaced before the next GE. I’ve no idea who will replace her.

The Tories need (and deserve) a good many years in the wilderness to reflect on their failings and to wait for a new leader to emerge other than the present hopeless ones.

I voted Conservative in 2019, not out of any love for them, but to keep Corbyn out. Most people where I lived did the same, as he was very unpopular with traditional Labour voters and would have been a disaster if he won. Last election, seeing the mess that followed after 2019 and having no faith in Labour either, I voted Lib Dem, again not out of any sort of conviction.

I agree about the need for a strong enough new leader to emerge, that could mean a Conservative win.
But then, it took Labour 14 years to get back into power, so there’s plenty of time.

There is not likely to be a Tory majority with a strong Reform, if a collation is formed it will move firmly to the right, if you think Starmer is tough you definitely won’t like that.

In 3 yrs time I’m hoping it will be a “normal” election without a lot of tactical voting to get rid of unpopular polititians.
