It’s a story as old as time. A party gets voted out of government and does some navel gazing as to how this could have happened. It seems the conclusion each time is that they weren’t left or right wing enough. See Michael Foots Labour, William Hague and Iain Duncan Smiths Conservatives, Labour under Jeremy Corbyn (there was a Milliband intermission there)

The Conservative Party did well under the one nation conservatism of David Cameron, Theresa May and arguably Boris Johnson but parties never learn.

Eventually, opposition parties drift back to the centre and I am sure the Conservatives will again. I would be very surprised if either Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick will be in place to fight the next general election
