So many people are still switched off to what happens and only take notice during election times - and the Tories and their media are super spot on at those times.

Nope. 4 weeks later with a new PM everyone will have forgotten this, and be in wonder and awe about how great the ‘new’ Tory party are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This always worries me. They have this incredible ability to transform what people think when they change leaders. It’s insane. Then they will talk about the mistakes of the past. I went to a hustings last time and people were talking about how Labour we’re at fault and how Boris is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s fair, I just still think there is a huge percentage that take no notice of all of that and will make their judgement and take notice during election times and that’s when the media and the Tories switch on and those people take notice.

No Look at the opinion polls that have been done the last few days 83% said Johnson should go in one, Over half of Tory voters in another The Tory party would not be tearing itself apart like this if vast swathes of their voters were in favour of what is going on, they aren't doing this out of principles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
