  • The Conservative Party being destroyed option shows you how many Tory members are really Brexit Party supporters.

    I wondered that from that mental graph yesterday - it suggests that the party is wildly out of touch with it's members (like Labour I guess) and that can't have just happened through time with its long serving members.

    Is there any evidence of entryism of the Tory party I wonder. I guess you can't tell easily tell without published numbers..

  • Yes, Cameron's desperate (but typically lazy) move to appease UKIP voters does seem to have backfired spectacularly, both in terms of retaining a sizeable group of extreme anti-EU members within the party, and also, of course, in deciding to go ahead with the referendum in the first place. The Tory party is pretty fucked.

  • And they know it. The nerves were palpable from the candidates last night when discussing a general election, and they were all so determined to make noises of unity. They know they're on shaky ground and are trying to make a show of stability.
