Voters beginning to think Conservatives are ‘weird’, research suggests
Tories found to have problems with relatability, and few voters can identify party leadership candidates
The research by More in Common said the party struggled with relatability, particularly in Liberal Democrat areas, by focusing on topics “which excite the base, or the highly politically engaged” but were distant from ordinary people’s lives.
Weirdness isn’t a US monopoly it seems….
Neither is modern culture-war conservatism.
Coincidence?
It said that in seats won by the Lib Dems “voters would explain that they were voting Lib Dem in these traditionally Tory strongholds because Ed Davey’s party just seemed more ‘normal’”.
Yes.
Ed maxed out on 'centrist fun uncle' energy. Genuinely one of the most effective 3rd party campaigns I've seen in British politics - hence resulting in the largest number of 3rd party MPs in a century.
Asked who had the best chance of winning the next election for the Tories, 70% of respondents either said they did not know or that they thought none of the candidates could win – with James Cleverly given the greatest chance, on 8%, followed by Priti Patel.
How's that going Priti?
Oh, OK, lol
