The Disappearing Opposition (from Sunday Herald)

Brief edited extracts from the article on the above link:

"Internal polling by the Conservatives, which a year ago looked rosy for Cameron, is now said to be a "folio of dark reading". The loss of control last week of Worcester City Council, where Labour achieved a 17.6% swing, will have done little for Tory Central Office morale.

One current Tory adviser admitted that Cameron and those around him simply misjudged the impact Brown would have.

A Labour strategist talks of Cameron’s “corroding credibility” and that (Quote) the Cameron threat is evaporating with the Conservatives as opportunistic as ever (End of quote).”

It's obvious that Cameron's Conservatives are going to get a hammering if there's an autumn election, the only question is will the damage be repairable?

Labour managed to survive a fourth consecutive General Election defeat (in 1992).

Canada's Conservatives lost General Elections a number of times before returning to power. Although, they got back with a Thatcherite as leader (now Prime Minister of Canada).

If they promise on their Mums life to begin the process of leaving the EU immediately and to halt ALL immigration immediately, + deport all those immigrants who shouldn't be here as quick as they can refuel the planes to take them! Then I will vote Tory!
