The Chronicles of Rishi

[Mr K]

The Conservatives would be relegated to Westminster’s third party behind the Scottish National Party in a snap election, new polling for the Telegraph has found.

The exclusive, large-scale MRP poll of 28,000 people found that if there were an imminent general election the Tories would be left with fewer seats than the SNP. Stephen Flynn, the SNP’s Westminster leader, would be the Leader of the Opposition.

All going well in Toryland then !
Wonder if the SNP might field candidates in England ? I think they'd do well.
Yorkshire independence next, we want to 'take back control'

🌳 CON: 23% (-22)

MRP Seat Projection:

🌹 LAB: 509 (+306)
🎗️ SNP: 50 (+2)
🌳 CON: 45 (-320)

A lot of truth in that as l suspect unless some polling miracle happens the Conservatives will be looking at a one or two term spell in opposition.

Truss gave the already-successful Labour Party a booster injection!

Alas for the Conservative Party, we're still suffering from Long BoJo with matters like the alleged conduct of Dominic Raab and Nadhim Zahawi's removal reminding the electorate of why Johnson had to resign.

The lack of investment in areas such as defence, hospitals and schools whilst the country under-performs its peers economically won't be going unnoticed either.

What have they been successful in? Strange turn of phrase.

I wouldn't equate a current lead in the polls as "already successful"

They may well be successful in just under two years, by what margin we'll have to wait and find out.

That's total rubbish. This is a 13 year journey - you just need to accept that your Party is not fit for office. Let's see how Labour handles the wreck of a country they will inherit.

BTW, the projected seat numbers show how fundamentally broken the FPTP electoral system is. Time to bring it to an end.

Just wondering how many centuries it will take to clear the debt that would then be incurred ?

We've been discussing polling that's the context in which I'm discussing success.

I would have anticipated an uptick under Sunak but Long Johnson as outlined earlier seems to have scuppered that for now.

Why are you being so aggressive?

Maybe he's just annoyed with the muppets that have voted for this mob for 13 years. Look where it's got us.

I am not being aggressive, just being honest. If you cannot see how much damage this party has done to this country over the years then I cannot help you.

There you go again. I have been and am being very critical of the government today and the net minus position we're in after 13 years.

Please read my posts properly before you sound off.

True you have been critical of the govt but you then went on to suggest that the main issue was Truss wrecking the economy. Truss was just more of the same incompetence and self serving, the last 13 years have been a complete disaster and they deserve to be gone for a very long time.
