Considering the fact that the last time the conservative party members had a vote on who should lead them and be prime minister they chose Liz Truss should tell you they are going to pick the worst possible candidate.

Leadership elections don't automatically have to cause damaging in fighting. It's just that the Tories have forgotten how to do any campaigning which doesn't involve attacking their rivals. Best I can guess is it's going to end up being Badenoch or Tugendhat. Don't see any of the right wing MPs beating Badenoch given how much more competent she has been than them, and Tugendhat could get the support purely by being a centrist if they are wise enough to remember that you only ever win elections from the centre in the UK. Probably the biggest thing in each of their favour is I don't think either have particularly been in any scandals - a rare thing for a Tory MP nowadays.

Labor wasn't always the other biggest party in U.K politics, it was actually the Liberals, but they started fighting amongst themselves over new liberalism or old Gladstonian liberalism as the direction for the party, with the new liberals eventually just defecting to labor, the last liberal government ended in 1915 and they've never really recovered.

@merrymachiavelli2041 17 дней назад

Strategically, a party to the right of the Conservatives presents more problems. Without Reform, the Tories can compete for the centre ground without needing to worry too much about the right wing of the party (other than trying to get them to turn out on election day). With Reform, it becomes extremally difficult to craft policies that appeal to all potential Tory voters. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Conservatives can't get back into government while Reform exists as a significant minor party.

Since John Major the Conservative Parliamentary MP's have become more liberal and vacated small "c" conservatism leaving the vacuum to be filled by ReformUK. Party has to decide does it want to become LibDem2.0 or do a 180°, start being socially conservative again and challenge ReformUK.

@chesterdonnelly1212 17 дней назад

Correct. And LibDems are thriving so we don't need another one.

But leftist commentators who would never vote tory in their lives will tell you that they need to be more "moderate" ;)

They, and reform, are not conservatives. They're right wing radicals - trying to do things like leave the ECHR is totally at odds with conservative values. Contrary to Reform UK belief, conservative does not just mean bigoted.

@English_Dawn 17 дней назад

Depends which direction the Conservative MP's go, if it carries on it's liberal path then probably up to a third could look to ReformUK who have taken up the small "c" conservatism space the Conservative Party parliamentary MP's have left behind. Probably as telling is how many Conservative Party Members look towards ReformUK.
