The fall of the Tory party

But not publicly, which is my point.

Before election day, Tory politicians couldn't say that publicly because they'd have been labelled disloyal; the ones who had given up (many or most) put the knife in by briefing off the record. Right now, as they're regrouping and plotting the next leadership bid, there's still no win for most of them to do that. Some of the far right loonies have criticised it for not being right wing enough, which means they have even less motive to say the campaign was just incompetent, as that would undermine their agenda. When the leadership election kicks off, we may see more accurate criticism of the campaign if it offers an advantage to candidates not associated with the campaign.

The rest of the country was laughing and pointing at the shit campaign, while Tory politicians did the usual "I'm not going to answer your embarrasing question, I'm going to answer a question you didn't ask that does me some good" thing. It's not like the shittiness of the campaign is some secret that has to be unmasked, and it'll make fuck all difference to the rest of us if any of those Tory MPs are the slightest bit honest in public about it.

Getting any of them to be remotely honest about how much damage they did in the last 14 years would be much more significant.
