‘Extinction Event’ — Tories on Track for 1997-Style Election Wipeout Amid Migration Failures, Rise of Reform UK

The British Conservative Party is facing an “extinction event” with a comprehensive poll predicting a defeat on the scale of the loss to Tony Blair’s Labour in 1997 on the backs of growing anger over failures to control migration and the rise of the Nigel Farage-founded Reform UK.

A YouGov survey of 14,000 people released in The Telegraph newspaper on Sunday found that the Conservatives will win just 169 seats in the House of Commons, a decline of 196 from the last general election in 2019. This would outpace the seismic defeat of the party in 1997 when Sir John Major saw his Conservatives lose 178 seats to Tony Blair and the Labour Party. Meanwhile, Labour is predicted to secure 385 seats in the Commons, giving the left-wing party a stonking 120-seat majority

RIP UK. People will vote for something much worse

[butlerweave]

Insanely worst ,LOL

They uncovered the Brit version of RINO. Tories and Conservatives promised to do something about the illegal alien invasion. Instead, they encouraged it and enacted racist laws against all Brit whites.

So, they get kicked.

What other parties have behavior like that? One starts with a D, and the other is RINO.

[nonliberal]

They deserve it. Sink the boats.

Need a play card here because the Brits party names dont always align with US expectations.

The American, French, British, German, Italian, Canadian UniParty’s were all to have been part of a nascent world government, under the WEF , by now-but that depended upon Hildebeast being elected in 2016.

Many will be called to national accountability -unless -as they see it-they can fire up WW III

So people are that stupid, the conservative party won’t control immigration - so they will elect the left wing radicals!!
It’s outrageous how stupid they are.

Just think of what a Nigel Farage supporter has to feel like... a full 75% of your “peers” are supporting either dinosaurs with no answers or bat crap crazy commies. And you stuck on that boat with THAT supermajority. At least you have a solid 45% of the country walking with you if you are MAGA supporter here...

[L,TOWM]

Labour = Even a little more nuts than the american flavor of commie. Brit proggies.

Tory (”Conservative”) = US RINO’s on a good day. “Moderate” democrats on most days.

UK Reform Party = Actually has a few elements of personal freedom and anti-globalism in its platform... not quite MAGA, (or MEGA?), but about as close as you get in Europe. They got BREXIT rolling.

[OttawaFreeper]

I hope that Farage’s stock will continue to rise as probably that number of Britons will see Labour as insanity as opposed to what they were like back in their dad’s or grandfather’s days.

Douglas Murray is a lot more optimistic than this article; but I don’t get where he thinks Western Civilization is going to be restored … hope he knows something I don’t

[Olog-hai]

The Tories are left-wing radicals themselves. Cameron’s government is the one that brought in same-sex “marriage” almost a decade ago (hard to believe it’s been that long already).

[mac_truck]

Deservedly so.

Yup. My Canadian wife sometimes laments that the U.S. only has two parties, and often neither offers a reasonable choice. In Canada, great parties (e.g. Wild Rose) spring up and grow, others become regional powers (Bloc Quebecois). In the end, the right-populist parties eventually make a devil's deal with the Progressive Conservatives, and if they don't a split can mean that the commie NDP wins the ridings and takes over (see Alberta a few years ago).

Each system has its flaws. In my view, due to a century of custom and crafted laws designed to institutionalize the current two parties, the only path for an upstart is to take over one of them. The hippies successfully have done it with the Democrats, happily jettisoning the southerners, rural and blue collar voters that had been part of the base. The Republicans don't want to give up the money and status needed to make a good claim on those disenfranchised blocs, and the white shoe establishment types want more than their fair share of the influence, so they must be chased out. We are almost half way there, but we have to stick with the program. MAGA is the program.

Thanks, that helps a bunch.

If I remember, in the UK’s House of Commons each seat is determined by the plurality in each district like our House, so a party falling out of favor usually results in a huge win for their opponents, unlike a European proportional representation system where the old and new parties on a side can coexist until one wins out.

[mewzilla]

The UK us in the same mess we are.

Political parties are just tools of Deep State.

And their Deep State is in charge.

What the UK doesn’t have, and desperately needs, is a Trump.

So people are that stupid, the [British] conservative party won't control immigration - so they will elect the left wing radicals!! It's outrageous how stupid they are.

It is time for U.S. Conservatives to seize the opportunity to distance themselves from the RINO Republican Party and become an alternative to uniparty politics. Give people a real choice based on proven agendas. Vote Line C across the board!

[Tell It Right]

IMHO, the right minded people in UK need to get ahold of immigration while the Israel Gaza war story is hot.

We forget that a major reason the Brits voted for Brexit was the Rotherham rape scandal by "Asians". For a while it was fashionable in England to refer to Muslims as rapefugees. But in time the constant drum beat of white-man-bad was put back into the minds of Brits and it seemed uncultured to fuss about the Muslim culture.

Now that the Oct 7 Gaza massacre has put the Muslim culture back into the spotlight in Europe, the good minded Brits need to utilize the chance.

[EEGator]

I think they vote WWIII.
