When the election comes there will be high NHS waiting lists still, probably still people in economic difficulty even if inflation and interest rates might be on their way down, police don't turn up to every break-in still, Brexit is now polling as unsuccessful even in Leave areas and Sunak is less popular than Starmer anyway.

What will change?
Yes, the last election was won on ABC - Anyone But Corbyn. Next year it's looking to be Anyone But Conservatives.

The Conservative Party has had a gruelling 14 years in office marked by in-fighting over Europe and a decline in the country's prosperity, public services and international standing.

Apart from some major sporting success and economic miracle, I think the Conservative's election fate is sealed.
