Holy Mother of God.....Liz Truss has sunk them into oblivion.....there is no coming back from numbers like that, wholesale shift has occurred.

1. Unfortunately no election for a while.

2. I can see the whole Govt falling apart very quickly tbh....

5. I think that you could have two more Tory leaders in the next 18

months, and they'll have a "reset" each time. Don't forget they largely control the media. It may get to a stage where they pass the point of being able to call an election, and so will stay on to the last day.

6. I'll tell you right now, British public will not accept another PM change, it would collapse.

7. The Tories will do what's in their interest before the public's, because

it's all about keeping power. It's who they are and I expect that obstinacy to play even more into Labours hands when the general election does eventually come.

3. One problem with Democracies...they tend to be reactive instead of proactive...

Which means that inefficient autocracies can take hold before the voting public realizes what's going on. Not sure how autocratic Truss actually is, but at least in England, unlike in the US, if public support craters, the gov't can collapse and be replaced a bit faster than here in the states. IAE she appears to be a hard line conservative.

Yes, they don't have an election scheduled for a while, but that kind of lack of support can be difficult for the party in power. In their parliamentary form of government, a collapse can happen quickly.

4. Keir Starmer does well to distance the Labour Party from the disastrous extremism and anti-Semitism

of Jeremy Corbyn that doomed Labour to a shrinking opposition party despite the incompetence of the Conservatives in power.

Let's hope they are able put the shameful past of Corbanysm behind them soon.
