The Tories survived after the ‘97 wipeout because they remained the opposition, still had clients in the press and, as the opposition, were able to control the narrative. The opposition still gets all the same invites to all the same panel shows, public events and functions, Royal protocols and diplomatic events, et. And they get to set the agenda for the manner in which the government of the day is held to account.
I hope and pray that this time we get a different opposition. The Lib Dems would ask good, appropriate questions, hold the governments feet to the fire and avoid all of the, “personality politics,” and craven appeals to, “culture wars,” and other vacuous attempts at misdirection from issues that matter.
Just last night we had Jacob Reese Mog bleating on his private TV show about, “free speech,” whilst forgetting to mention that his party is the ONLY party that has introduced laws designed to curb free speech and the right to protest. I cannot see how losing that level of craven hypocrisy would do our country any harm?
Let us all vote for Tory annihilation so that we can have a responsible government, doing its job in an honest and boring manner whilst being challenged by responsible adults, not just out to make money for themselves and their friends and their families, holding them to account.
