I made this prediction last year but worryingly, it is now looking a lot more likely. There is a real danger in the Tories being wiped out which would destabilise the two party system our politics is predicated upon. It will then open the door to a very right wing UKIP/Reform/Tory party, headed by Farage which then becomes the de facto opposition, at least in voter numbers, if not seats.
The reason why this is a problem is that Labour will, in all probability, fail to sufficiently turn around the country in 5 years given their current tax & expenditure position plus the degree of damage done by Tories/Brexit/Austerity/etc. The reason why this is an issue is the country could then lurch to the right falling for the lies of Farage, just like in 2016. This paints an ugly future for the country
