Britain is full of people who don’t want to admit they’re Tories, Liz Truss told the launch rally of the new Popular Conservatism (PopCon) movement on Tuesday, 6 February. Speaking in central London, the short-lived former prime minister said: “Britain is full of secret Conservatives – people who agree with us but don’t want to admit it because they think it’s not acceptable in their place of work, it’s not acceptable at their school.” Ms Truss also hit out at Rishi Sunak’s government for failing to take on “left-wing extremists” she claimed had gained control of UK institutions.
More like the generally right-wing British public no longer want to be associated with the corrupt scum that are the Tory party.
It’s pretty sad when the people that would support you by default have grown sick of you.
They UK public aren’t that right wing. It’s just FPTP. The left is spread over more parties. It’s why UKIP/Reform drag the Consecutives round. They can’t afford the vote splitting. We aren’t as badly two party as the US, so Conservatives playing the US Republican playbook to keep their nutters happy, is just destorying them.
When you actually talk to people most people are pretty middle of the road left of center or right of center. So parties should be pretty close to the center if they want votes as you say going after the extreme fringe groups only alienates everyone else.
The Tory strategists know this, which is why they keep trying to pull the conservatives back to the center, but the likes of 30p, and Mog refuse to get the message.
By definition the majority will be at the centre. Where the centre is different by county of course.
That’s not how politics works the center is the moderate.
If everyone in the country is a Nazi the center is not the average the center is the moderate. By definition not there for the average.
You ask those Nazis where the centre is. Their centre won’t be ours. When talk about the centre, it will be their’s they are taking about.
